Such proof shall be filed with the commissioner of public safety. Applicants for liquor licenses to whom the requirement for proof of financial responsibility applies include applicants for wine licenses with sales of less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) of wine per year. Any liability insurance policy filed as proof of financial responsibility under this subsection shall conform to Minnesota statutes section 340A.409.

Liability insurance policies required, but not by state law, shall be approved as to form by the city attorney. Operation of a licensed business without having on file with the city, at all times, effective security as required by subsection B of this section is a cause for revocation of the license.
