Certain requirements modification of liquor licenses issues to the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota
This bill modifies Minnesota's liquor license rules to allow the University of Minnesota Board of Regents to operate more on-site alcohol sales locations. It removes a prohibition on liquor licenses within the College of Agriculture campus (previously listed as a restricted area) and expands the Board's ability to obtain licenses for up to seven additional campus venues beyond Northrop Auditorium and the football stadium, provided these locations are specified in approved applications. The key change enables the University to serve alcohol at more campus events without needing new legislative approvals for each location. This directly affects the University of Minnesota's operations at its campuses, particularly for events held in newly authorized venues. The bill does not change existing rules for other license holders or alter the requirement that stadium liquor sales must be available to the public through halftime.
