Sec. 609.833 MN Statutes

That statute doesn't include a little tidbit that makes the entire statute a moot point:
It is against federal law to ask someone for proof that their animal is a service animal. And furthermore, there is no "official" service animal certification, federally authorized training or license. Anyone can train an animal to perform a service for them, and by law, that animal is, by definition, a service animal.
