AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code to establish a new penalty for retailers who repeatedly have payments dishonored by financial institutions. Specifically, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission will be required to suspend a retailer's liquor license for 14 days if the retailer has 6 or more payments dishonored by a financial institution (such as a bounced check or failed electronic payment) on different dates within a 12-month period, as defined in section 903b of the existing code. This provision is designed to ensure that liquor retailers maintain financial reliability and promptly pay their wholesalers, with the suspension serving as a significant deterrent for repeated payment failures that could disrupt the liquor supply chain.
