SB 264 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Liquor: hours; guidelines regarding resolution to repeal prohibition of alcohol sales; modify. Amends sec. 1113 of 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.2113).

Senate Bill 264 modifies the process for counties in Michigan to regulate Sunday sales of spirits and mixed spirit drinks. It reduces the number of signatures required for a citizen petition to initiate a county-wide vote on these sales from 8% to 5% of the votes cast for Secretary of State. The bill also introduces new ballot language, allowing voters to explicitly choose whether to permit or prohibit Sunday sales during specific morning hours for both on-premises and off-premises consumption. These changes directly affect liquor licensees and residents in counties considering restrictions on Sunday alcohol sales.
