HB 5518 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Liquor: hours; allowable hours for sale of alcoholic beverages in airports; revise. Amends sec. 1114 of 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.2114).

HB 5518 amends Michigan's liquor control code to clarify that airport licensees (with approval from the airport's governing body) may sell alcohol 24 hours a day, removing the current 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. sales restriction that applies to most other licensees. This change directly affects airports and their licensed vendors, allowing continuous alcohol sales within airport premises. The bill does not alter general alcohol sales rules for other locations or the Sunday sales restrictions handled under separate sections. It maintains existing requirements for airport licensees to obtain governing body approval but updates the specific time allowance in Section 1114.

MINOR

The bill text was converted from a raw legislative draft into a formatted web page record, while the core policy regarding liquor sales in airports remained unchanged. The substantive content, which allows airport licensees to sell alcohol between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. with governing body approval, was preserved without modification. The primary changes are the addition of website navigation menus and the removal of internal document headers and footers.

TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a plain text legislative bill to a structured web page containing navigation menus, search tools, and a list of other committee bills.

Internal document identifiers, page numbers, and draft-specific headers/footers were removed during the conversion.

Website interface elements such as links to the Michigan Legislature home page, search functions, and a list of related bills were added.
