The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.404, subdivision 1, to authorize cities to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to licensed cosmetology salons. This addition allows cosmetology salons to serve alcohol, expanding the types of establishments eligible for such licenses, which already include hotels, restaurants, bowling centers, and various other venues. The specific insertion in the bill is the addition of item (9), which states that a city may issue an on-sale intoxicating liquor license to a cosmetology salon under section 155A.29.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that states it will take effect the day following its final enactment. This change reflects a broader trend of integrating alcohol service into various business models, potentially enhancing customer experience in cosmetology salons while also providing new revenue opportunities for these establishments.
