Minnesota Cigar Bar Act
This bill adds "cigar bar" to the list of businesses cities can license to sell alcohol on-site under Minnesota law. It directly affects cigar bars (businesses primarily selling cigars or tobacco products) by allowing them to obtain liquor licenses, which they previously could not. The key provision amends existing statute to explicitly include cigar bars under the same licensing rules as tobacco shops, enabling cities to issue on-sale liquor licenses to these establishments. The change applies statewide and takes effect upon final enactment.
