Purpose

• To allow Lake of the Woods County to issue temporary liquor licenses for premises operated by the Baudette Arena Association, even if that would conflict with a current restriction in Minnesota liquor law.

Main provisions

• Section 1: Lake of the Woods County may issue temporary liquor licenses, under applicable law, for the premises of the Baudette Arena Association.
• The county may do so without regard to the restriction described in Minnesota Statutes section 340A.412, subdivision 4, paragraph a, clause 7.

Significant changes to existing law

• Creates an explicit exception for Lake of the Woods County to issue temporary liquor licenses for the Baudette Arena Association premises, bypassing the specific restriction in Minnesota Statutes §340A.412, subd. 4, par. a, cl. 7.

Practical implications

• The change provides the county with greater flexibility to authorize temporary liquor sales or service at events or activities at the Baudette Arena Association, potentially enabling expanded or more timely permitting for venues or events.

Potential limitations or considerations

• The provision applies only to temporary licenses and only for the Baudette Arena Association premises; it does not remove or alter other licensing requirements or broader alcohol-related restrictions in state law.
