Liquor: beer; beer tax; eliminate. Amends sec. 409 of 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1409).
HB 5084 proposes to eliminate Michigan's $6.30 per barrel tax on beer. This bill would remove the existing tax requirement for brewers, brewpubs, and wholesalers under the Liquor Control Code. The change would directly affect beer manufacturers and distributors who currently pay this tax on beer sold in Michigan. The bill focuses solely on removing the tax rate and related collection mechanisms, without adding new provisions or exemptions.
