MN bill would allow nursing home happy hours

“My friends and I love happy hour," Anita LeBrun, a Champlin resident, said, adding that if assisted living facilities in Minnesota were allowed to host happy hours, it would mean she doesn't have to go out and slip on the ice to "get our box of wine." The bill at the Minnesota Legislature would authorize nursing homes and assisted living facilities to host happy hours without a liquor license. The bill is sponsored by Sen. John Hoffman, a Democrat.
