2003 Minnesota Statutes

     197.59 Hawking or peddling; exemption from license fees; 
  municipal licensing; penalty for unlawful issuance of license.  

    No license fee or other charge provided by any law of the 
 state shall be required by any veteran for the privilege of 
 hawking or peddling goods and merchandise, not prohibited by law 
 or ordinance, in the county where the veteran has established a 
 bona fide residence, solely upon the veteran's own account.  
 Nothing herein contained prevents any city, or other 
 municipality from levying and collecting such license fees for 
 hawking or peddling within its corporate limits.  Upon 
 application therefor, accompanied by proof of such discharge, to 
 any clerk or other officer authorized to issue such license, the 
 same shall forthwith be granted.  Every such clerk or other 
 officer issuing such license shall ascertain that the applicant 
 is entitled thereto; and any such clerk or other officer issuing 
 a license to any person who is not entitled to receive one under 
 the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a 
 misdemeanor.  Every violation hereof is a misdemeanor, the 
 minimum punishment whereof is a fine of $10.
