Bill > HF1786

This bill amends Minnesota's liquor licensing statute to allow cities to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to cosmetology salons licensed under section 155A.29. Currently, cities can issue such licenses to establishments like hotels, restaurants, bowling centers, clubs, sports facilities, and resorts, and this legislation adds cosmetology salons to that list. The bill essentially expands the types of businesses that can potentially serve alcohol by explicitly permitting cities to grant liquor licenses to cosmetology salons. This means a licensed cosmetology salon could, at the discretion of the local city government, obtain a license to serve alcoholic beverages to customers while they receive beauty services. The amendment is relatively narrow in scope, providing cities with the option but not mandating that they issue such licenses to cosmetology salons. The bill becomes effective the day after it is finally enacted by the Minnesota legislature.
