This bill amends various sections of Minnesota Statutes to authorize specific municipalities to issue liquor licenses under modified conditions. Notably, the city of St. Paul is granted the ability to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to several venues, including the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Union Depot, allowing sales on all days of the week. Additionally, the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota is permitted to hold licenses for multiple locations within the university, with provisions for non-contiguous spaces. The bill also includes provisions for the issuance of food hall licenses in Minneapolis and St. Louis Park, allowing for the consumption of beverages in common areas shared by multiple vendors.

Further, the bill allows for temporary liquor licenses for food trucks in Douglas County, with specific conditions regarding liability insurance and event notification requirements. Other municipalities, such as Mankato, Rochester, Bloomington, and Springfield, are also granted special licenses for various facilities, including community centers and golf courses. The effective dates for these provisions are contingent upon approval by the respective city councils and compliance with existing statutes.
