Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to liquor; authorizing certain temporary licenses to be issued by Lake of the Woods County notwithstanding a restriction in law.

AI Summary

This bill provides Lake of the Woods County with a specific exemption to current liquor licensing laws, allowing the county to issue temporary liquor licenses for the Baudette Arena Association's premises despite an existing legal restriction. Specifically, the bill permits the county to issue these temporary licenses notwithstanding the provisions in Minnesota Statutes, section 340A.412, subdivision 4, paragraph (a), clause (7), which would normally prevent such licensing. The bill will become effective after two conditions are met: first, approval by the Lake of the Woods County Board of Commissioners, and second, compliance with the standard legal procedure for local government ordinances outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 645.021. This type of targeted legislative exemption is relatively common and allows local jurisdictions to address specific venue or community needs that might be hindered by broader state liquor regulations.
