<br />law that allowed aO license holders to make up their own mind whether they shoulJ stay open uhti12:00 am. And that is exactly whar hap-
<br />pened with the new law. While cities can decide not to allow 2:00 am sales, chances are economics wiO drive all cities to allow 2:00 am.

<br />TO:

<br />AlCOHOL BEVERAGE INDUSTRY AND LICENSING AUTHORITIES
<br />
<br />SUBJECT: 2 AM. CLOSING LA~ 2003 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
<br />
<br />The 2003 Minnesota Legislative Session passed legislation to aUow for the sale of alcoholic beverages on the liquor licensed premises until 2:00 A.M. on aU
<br />days of the week effective July 1, 2003. Licensees will need to apply for a special 2:00 A.M. license from the Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division
<br />(AGED) and pay a fee based on their previous annual 12 months of liquor receipts. 3.2% malt beverage licensees, set up licensees, and licenses who have
<br />not sold alcoholic beverages for the past 12 months prior to application for the 2:00 AM. license, will pay a flat $200 fee. The 2:00 AM. special license
<br />will rtlfl J? months from the date of approval by the Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division.
<br />
<br />In addition, the new 2:00 A.M. legislation provides that local licensing authorities, (cities and counties) must inform (certify) to the commissioner (AGED)
<br />within 10 days of the issuance of all 3.2% beer licenses. Cities have for many years afready been required to fulfill this certification requirement for all on
<br />sale and Sunday intoxicating liquor licenses. Now all, 3.2% liquor licenses issued by cities or councies will also need to be certified to the Commissioner.
<br />This licensing authority certification is necessary whether or not a licensee is applying for the 2:00 A.M. Special License. The commissioner provides the
<br />form upon request for this certification as described below.
<br />
<br />The applicacion for the Optional 2 AM. Special Closing License and the Certification of an On sale Intoxicating Liquor and Sunday License, as well as,
<br />the 3.2% Malt Beverage License Certification is all on one convenient form, Form No. 9011-2AM. This form replaces the old PS 9011 form, the On Sale
<br />and/or Sunday Certification form previously used by cities to inform the Commissioner of the issuance of their on sale intoxicating liquor licenses. The
<br />top part of the new form, 9011-2 AM, contains aU of the licensee certification information, and the bottom section contams a separate section for the
<br />Optional 2:00 A.M. license, signature requirements by cities and counties and licensee signatures. The entire form must be filled out completely and signed
<br />by the local licensing authority and the licensee in order to qualify for the 2:00 A.M. Special License. The check for the Optional 2:00 A.M. Special License
<br />is made payable to the Alcohol andGambling Enforcement Division (AGED) "in the amount indicatedonthe fee schedule in the 2 A!vL,sectionof the
<br />form. Licensees making application for the Optional 2 A.M: Special License shoUld verifY with 'their 10C3l licensing offiCials that local ordinances allow for
<br />the sale of alcoholic beverages until 2 AM. The completed 9011-2AM along with the check for the 2:00 AM. license is sent to the Alcohol and Gambling
<br />Enforcement, 444 Cedar Street, Suite 133, St. Paul, MN 55101
