Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code to allow liquor licensees (such as bars, restaurants, or stores with liquor licenses) to donate a portion of their profits to certain nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the federal tax code. The bill creates an exception to existing rules that previously restricted such donations. Importantly, the licensee must first record the profits on their financial records before making the donation, and if the receiving nonprofit has been issued a special license for an event, they cannot use the donated funds to pay for any expenses related to that specific event. This change provides more flexibility for liquor businesses to support charitable organizations while maintaining transparency and preventing potential misuse of funds. The bill appears designed to create a straightforward mechanism for liquor licensees to contribute to community nonprofits within a regulated framework.
