Minnesota Statutes Economic Development and Planning (Ch. 116J-116O) § 116J.73. Bureau of Business Licenses; declaration of purpose

It is the intent of the legislature that a program of business license assistance be established to provide a centralized state government office to which business license applicants may obtain comprehensive license information and assistance. The program of business assistance will be directed to commercial business undertakings, projects, and activities rather than to the issuance of licenses for individual privileges, including the occupational licenses for practicing a trade or profession, licenses for operating a motor vehicle, and amateur sporting licenses, including, but not limited to, hunting and fishing.
