On-sale intoxicating liquor license issued to a licensed cosmetology salon cities authorization provision

This bill (SF 2344) amends Minnesota law to allow cities to issue on-sale alcohol licenses to licensed cosmetology salons. Specifically, it adds cosmetology salons (as defined under Minnesota Statute 155A.29) to the list of businesses eligible for such licenses, which previously included hotels, restaurants, and theaters. The key change is expanding where alcohol can be sold within city jurisdictions, directly affecting licensed cosmetology salons seeking to serve alcohol on-site. The amendment modifies Minnesota Statutes section 340A.404, subdivision 1, effective upon final enactment.
