Persons that are 17 years of age permission to serve alcoholic beverages

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 340A.412, subdivision 10, to allow 17-year-olds to serve or sell alcoholic beverages in retail establishments with on-sale licenses (such as bars and restaurants), where currently only those 18 or older may serve. It directly affects 17-year-old workers in on-sale alcohol venues by changing the existing restriction that prohibited people under 18 from serving in such settings. The key mechanism updates the statute to explicitly permit 17-year-olds for on-sale service, while maintaining the current rule that prohibits under-18s from serving in off-sale venues (like liquor stores). The change would take effect the day after final enactment.
