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 the Fitzgerald Theatre, the Great American History Theater, 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 licenses for food halls in Minneapolis and St. Louis Park, as well as special licenses for Minnesota State University, Mankato, and the Historic Chateau Theater in Rochester.

Furthermore, the bill allows for temporary liquor licenses for food trucks in Douglas County and modifies existing restrictions on liquor licenses in certain areas, including the removal of prohibitions on the University of Minnesota's College of Agriculture campus. The effective dates for these provisions are contingent upon approval by the respective city councils or county boards, ensuring local governance in the licensing process. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the flexibility and accessibility of liquor licensing for various cultural and recreational venues across Minnesota.
