Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1998 PA 58, entitled"Michigan liquor control code of 1998,"(MCL 436.1101 to 436.2303) by adding section 910.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code to modify how the liquor control commission considers past violations when making licensing decisions. Specifically, the bill stipulates that for licensing purposes, the commission cannot take into account a liquor code violation if at least three years have passed since the violation occurred, with one important exception: if the previous violation led to a complete license revocation, it can still be considered. This provision effectively creates a "statute of limitations" for minor liquor code infractions, giving licensees a chance to rehabilitate their record after a specified time period. The bill aims to provide a more balanced approach to evaluating a business's history, recognizing that businesses should not be perpetually penalized for older, less serious infractions while still maintaining the commission's ability to consider more serious past violations that resulted in complete license revocation.
