Minneapolis file 2026-01204, before the Minneapolis City Council. Still to be decided as of 2026-10-15.
Latest action: Notice given by City Council
Simpler startup for flower carts, street photographers, dance schools People who want to operate sidewalk flower carts, street photography stands, or dance schools no longer need to get a city license for those specific activities.
City can focus licensing staff on businesses that still matter Removing licenses for pay phones, motor scooter rentals, and other outdated services frees city staff to manage licensing for growing industries and current market needs.
Some activities lose city oversight even if rules still apply elsewhere Deleting these license chapters removes a direct city touchpoint for regulating these activities, so other city codes or state law would need to cover any public safety or consumer protection concerns.
Passage of Ordinanceamending Title 13 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances relating to Licenses and Business Regulations, deleting or amending various seldom-issued license types and categories to streamline the regulatory process and align with current market needs and practices: Chapter 264 Outdoor Pay Telephones Chapter 267 Amusements Chapter 282 Donation Collection Bins Chapter 285 Dancing Schools Chapter 293 Going Out of Business Sales Chapter 311 Motor Scooter Leasing Chapter 331 Sidewalk Flower Cart Vendors Chapter 335 Street Photographers
