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 1016.

AI Summary

This bill amends Michigan's liquor control code to allow liquor licensees (businesses with liquor licenses like bars or restaurants) to donate a portion of their profits to certain nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The bill specifies that before making such a donation, the licensee must first record the profits in their financial records and be prepared to report those profits to the Liquor Control Commission if requested. Additionally, if the nonprofit receiving the donation has been issued a special license for an event, the donated funds cannot be used to pay for any expenses related to that specific event. This provision appears designed to create more flexibility for liquor businesses in supporting charitable organizations while maintaining transparency and preventing potential misuse of funds.
