Food and beverage service establishments exempted from mandatory fee advertisement requirement.

HF 2676 exempts food and beverage service establishments (like restaurants, cafes, and hotels) from a Minnesota law requiring clear disclosure of mandatory fees, such as automatic gratuities, in advertisements. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 325D.44 to add these establishments to a list of exempt entities under the "mandatory fee advertisement" rule. This means restaurants no longer need to display details about automatic service fees in their marketing materials or online menus, as the requirement no longer applies to them. The exemption directly affects businesses operating under Minnesota's food service definition (section 157.15, subdivision 5).
