Bill > SF1168

This bill provides a special authorization for the city of Rochester to issue an on-sale intoxicating liquor license to the Historic Chateau Theater, located at 15 1st Street Southwest, despite any existing laws, ordinances, or charter provisions that might otherwise restrict such a license. The license would allow alcohol sales on all days of the week for people attending performances, exhibitions, or other events at the theater. While the license is subject to most provisions of Minnesota's liquor laws (found in Chapter 340A), this bill creates a specific exemption to allow the license. The bill will become effective after approval by the Rochester City Council and completion of required legal procedures, specifically compliance with Minnesota Statutes, section 645.021, which typically involves official publication and notification processes. This legislation appears to be a targeted measure to support the Historic Chateau Theater by granting it more flexible liquor licensing capabilities.
