Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to liquor; allowing the city of St. Paul to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Union Depot; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.404, subdivision 2b.

AI Summary

This bill amends Minnesota statutes to allow the city of St. Paul to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to two specific venues: the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Union Depot, despite any existing restrictions related to zoning, school or church distances, or other local ordinances. The licenses for both locations would permit alcohol sales on all days of the week and can be issued to the venues themselves or to their concessionaires or operators. Specifically for the Science Museum, the license would be valid at 120 West Kellogg Boulevard, and for the Union Depot, the license would be valid at 214 Fourth Street East. The bill becomes effective once it is approved by the St. Paul City Council and complies with state licensing procedures. This legislation expands the city's ability to grant liquor licenses to cultural and historic venues, potentially enhancing their revenue and visitor experience by allowing on-site alcohol sales.
