Bill > HB4700

This bill modifies the Michigan Liquor Control Code by updating definitions related to liquor licensing, specifically focusing on hotel licenses and other related terms. The bill removes the previous population-based requirements for Class A and Class B hotel licenses and replaces them with a uniform standard of 20 or more available rental rooms for both license types. It introduces new definitions for "church" and "financial records," and reorganizes the existing definitions section. The bill also clarifies that a Class A hotel license allows for the sale of beer, wine, and mixed spirit drinks for on-premises consumption, while a Class B hotel license permits the sale of beer, wine, mixed spirit drinks, and spirits for on-premises consumption. Additionally, the bill maintains existing definitions for other liquor-related terms such as "commission," "hotel," "distiller," and "license," ensuring that the legal framework for liquor licensing remains comprehensive and up-to-date.
