What Minnesota’s New ‘Jetsons Law’ is that Takes Effect August 1st
There have been a few notable bills that have taken effect in Minnesota recently or will take effect very soon.
New Minnesota Laws
One of the new laws is that Minnesota breweries are now allowed to sell THC drinks on tap just like beer.

Another new law that takes effect August 1st has to do with booster seats. Kids will now have to be at least 9 years old in order to move out of a booster seat.

And finally, the third law that I wanted to talk about is very futuristic. Plus, Minnesota is only the second state to have a law like this in place.
Minnesota's New 'Jetsons Law'
This new law is called the 'Jetsons law'. It takes effect August 1st and if you know anything about the TV show 'The Jetsons', you may know what I'm getting at hear. This new law has to do with flying cars.
Crazy, right?! As far as I know, there aren't any feasible possibilities of flying cars yet, but that didn't stop Minnesota from making a law for them.
The new law calls them 'roadable aircrafts'. It's for an aircraft that can also be used to drive on a public highway. However, they cannot take off from or land on a public highway. That can only happen at an airfield, according to Fortune.
They also don't need to have your usual license plates like a car. The tail number on the 'roadable aircraft' will be considered its 'license plate'.
It's not like we'll be seeing cars flying around in town anytime soon, but it's crazy to think that a law like this will be in place now. Minnesota is now the second state to have a law like this. New Hampshire was the first.
