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 food halls in Minneapolis and St. Louis Park, allowing for the sale and consumption of liquor across multiple vendors within designated areas.

Further amendments include the ability for the city of Mankato to issue a special on-sale wine and malt liquor license for Minnesota State University, Mankato, and for the city of Rochester to issue a license for the Historic Chateau Theater. The bill also allows Douglas County to issue temporary licenses for food trucks at private events, with specific conditions regarding liability insurance and notification to local authorities. The effective dates for these provisions are contingent upon approval by the respective city councils or county boards, ensuring compliance with existing legal frameworks.
