Bill > SF2202

This bill amends Minnesota statutes to allow the city of St. Paul to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to two specific locations: the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Union Depot. Currently, liquor licensing is subject to various restrictions related to zoning, proximity to schools and churches, and other local ordinances, but this bill provides explicit exceptions for these two venues. The licenses would permit alcohol sales on all days of the week, either directly by the institutions or through their concessionaires or operators. Specifically, the Science Museum license would apply to its premises at 120 West Kellogg Boulevard, and the Union Depot license would apply to its location at 214 Fourth Street East. The bill becomes effective once approved by the St. Paul City Council and meets the state's statutory requirements for implementation. This legislation represents a targeted expansion of liquor licensing authority for two significant public spaces in St. Paul, potentially enhancing their ability to generate revenue and provide additional services to visitors.
