Bill > SF2344

This bill amends Minnesota liquor licensing laws to allow cities to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to cosmetology salons. Specifically, the bill adds licensed cosmetology salons (as defined under section 155A.29) to the list of establishments that can potentially receive an on-sale intoxicating liquor license within a city's jurisdiction. This means that cosmetology salons would now have the option to apply for a liquor license, giving cities the discretion to grant such licenses to these businesses. The bill provides a new opportunity for cosmetology salons to serve alcoholic beverages to customers, expanding their potential business model. The changes will take effect the day following final enactment, meaning cities can immediately begin considering liquor license applications from cosmetology salons once the bill becomes law. The modification is a narrow change to existing liquor licensing regulations, adding cosmetology salons to the existing list of establishments like hotels, restaurants, bowling centers, and clubs that can potentially receive such licenses.
