SF 265 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Mankato special liquor license authorization

This bill authorizes the city of Mankato to issue a special on-sale liquor license to Minnesota State University, Mankato (MSU), specifically for alcohol sales at events held in the Taylor Center. The license permits sales on all days of the week (within standard hours) to attendees of events at the Taylor Center, provided all sales occur within the university campus boundaries described in the license application. It does not override existing liquor laws but allows MSU to operate this specific license under its own campus rules, subject to standard restrictions and any reasonable conditions set by the city licensing authority. The license applies only to the Taylor Center venue, not general campus sales.
