I got this from Andrew Schmitt of Minnesota Beer Activists.
Authors: Sen Tom Saxhaug and Rep Tom Anzelc.
See attachment for possible language to be drafted.
The language here closely mirrors what is in the federal law. It doesn't
specifically address serving to the public which seems to be the issue that
Steve Benson's club was pushing, so I'm not sure what to make of it.

From Andrew Schmitt of MN Beer Activists.
MN Beer Activists <http://mnbeeractivists.com/> are putting out a call to
action for beer lovers across the state of Minnesota to help finally legalize
the sale of liquor, wine, and beer <http://sundaysalesmn.org/> on Sundays.
38 states allow Sunday liquor sales <http://sundaysalesmn.org/>, including
every state that surrounds Minnesota. It is time to give Minnesota
consumers and retailers the choice. Let's stop sending our hard earned
money over the borders. Politicians can stop pretending they are worried
about the impact on "Mom & Pop liquor stores." The fact is there plenty of
small independent stores in states where Sunday liquor sales are legal.
Just follow one of the hundreds of MN license plates over to Superior, or
Hudson, and take a look. Mom & Pop are going to be just fine.
"Commerce is well enough established as seven days and nights a week now, "
Dayton said. "For us to say it doesn't apply to this or doesn't apply to
that really doesn't make much sense. There are an increasing number of
Minnesotans for which Sunday isn't a religious
holiday."<http://www.startribune.com/politics/statelocal/237733421.html>
Opponents <http://www.startribune.com/politics/116537693.html> and
prohibitionists <http://www.municipalbev.com/magazines/mag_2012_0708.pdf> will
stand by old arguments, claiming that Sundays won't add any more sales, or
that stores will be forced to open. In reality, Sunday is the second
busiest shopping day of the week, and any store that doesn't want to open
won't have to. Plenty of banks and barbers make these choices every week
without a government mandate. When Colorado passed Sunday beer
sales<http://www.nightclub.com/legislative/news/discus-growth-colorado-alcohol-ta…>
the
increased revenue was credited with bringing liquor stores through tough
economic conditions. How's that for 6 days of sales across 7 days?
On @DailyCircuit <https://twitter.com/DailyCircuit>, Daudt says 'this could
be the yr' for Sunday liquor sales. Thissen & Daudt both say burden is on
those wanting to keep ban
-- Tom Weber (@webertom1) February 20,
2014<https://twitter.com/webertom1/statuses/436525166621769728>
For probably the first time ever Sunday liquor
sales<http://sundaysalesmn.org/> has
a real chance of passing this year. Governor Dayton has said he will sign a
Sunday sales bill, and House leaders Thissen & Daudt have said 2014 could
be the year. <https://twitter.com/webertom1/status/436525166621769728> However,
with all the bipartisan support the Sunday sales bill still faces
opposition from leadership. The Sunday liquor bill will need to be heard
and passed in the House and Senate Commerce Committees. Committee Chairs
Representative Joe Atkins (D) and Senator Jim Metzen (D) are may not give
the bill fair committee hearings without receiving a large amount of public
pressure. This is how you can help.
