Brainerd authorization to issue an on-sale intoxicating liquor license
This bill authorizes the city of Brainerd to issue an on-sale liquor license to the Northern Pacific Center, an event venue located at 1511 Northern Pacific Road. The license would permit alcohol sales to event attendees on all days of the week and allows for sales in a space that is not compact and contiguous, provided the premises are described in the approved license. The legislation applies only to the specific event center and does not change existing liquor laws for other businesses. It becomes effective once the Brainerd City Council approves it and the state compliance requirements are met.
