AI Summary
This bill modifies the Michigan Liquor Control Code of 1998 by changing the population requirement for issuing liquor licenses to municipal civic centers or auditoriums. Specifically, it lowers the minimum population threshold for a city or township to qualify for these licenses from 5,500 residents to 5,000 residents, provided the civic center or auditorium is owned and operated as a municipal enterprise and its legislative body authorizes the application for a license. These licenses, which are not transferable and cannot be issued to or for educational institutions, will only permit the sale of alcoholic liquor during scheduled events at the licensed venue.
