Dog parks establishment in restaurants and breweries authorization provision
This bill allows restaurants and breweries in Minnesota to create designated dog parks on their property. The legislation amends state law to explicitly permit these establishments to establish areas where dogs can be off-leash. It requires clear signage outlining rules such as prohibiting employees from touching dogs, preventing dogs from contacting food service items, and mandating immediate cleanup of dog waste. Patrons must keep dogs on leashes except within the designated dog park areas, and dogs cannot be allowed on furniture or tables. The bill gives local governments authority to set additional regulations for health, safety, and public welfare.
