This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.404, subdivision 1, to authorize cities to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to licensed cosmetology salons. The new legal language specifies that cosmetology salons are now included as eligible establishments for such licenses, alongside existing categories like hotels, restaurants, and sports facilities. The previous provision that allowed for licenses to be issued to resorts has been retained, but the specific mention of resorts has been modified to accommodate the new inclusion of cosmetology salons.
Additionally, the bill includes an effective date clause stating that the changes will take effect the day following final enactment. This legislative change aims to expand the opportunities for liquor sales in various establishments, potentially enhancing the business environment for cosmetology salons and providing them with a new revenue stream.
