SF 2202 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

St. Paul permission to issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses to the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Union Depot

This bill (SF 2202) allows the city of St. Paul to issue on-sale liquor licenses to two specific venues: the Science Museum of Minnesota (at 120 West Kellogg Boulevard) and the Union Depot (at 214 Fourth Street East). It amends state law to override standard zoning restrictions and distance requirements that would normally prevent such licenses. The licenses would permit alcohol sales every day of the week at these locations, as specified in the bill text. This change directly affects the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Union Depot by enabling them to serve alcohol on their premises. The bill is procedural, focusing on granting specific licensing authority rather than broader policy changes.
