Liquor: liquor control commission; certain liquor code violations not held against a licensee after a certain time; provide for. Amends 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1101 - 436.2303) by adding sec. 910.
This bill modifies the Michigan Liquor Control Code to prevent the Liquor Control Commission from using certain past violations to deny, suspend, or revoke liquor licenses. Specifically, it states that if at least two years have passed since a violation occurred, the commission cannot consider it when making licensing decisions. The law defines a "qualified violation" as any breach of the liquor code that is not a criminal offense or a state civil infraction. This change aims to ensure that older, non-criminal mistakes do not permanently bar individuals or businesses from holding liquor licenses.
