All licensed premises shall be open to inspection by the County Sheriff’s Office or other authorized City official during regular business hours. From time to time, but at least once per year, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 461.12 subd. 5, the City or an authorized agent for the City shall conduct compliance checks engaging someone at least 17 years old but less than 21 years old to enter the licensed premises to attempt to purchase tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, or electronic delivery devices. Persons under 18 years of age shall be utilized only with the written consent of a parent or guardian. Persons used for the purpose of compliance checks shall be supervised by City designated law enforcement officers. Persons used for compliance checks shall not be guilty of violating tobacco, tobacco product, or tobacco-related device provisions when such items are obtained as part of the compliance check. No person used in compliance checks shall attempt to use false identification misrepresenting the person’s age, and all persons lawfully engaging in a compliance check shall answer all questions about the person’s age asked by the licensee or his or her employee and shall produce any identification, if any exists, for which he or she is asked. Nothing in this section shall prohibit compliance checks authorized by State or Federal laws for educational, research, or training purposes, or required for the enforcement of a particular State or Federal law. However, all such compliance checks must be coordinated through the City.
