SB 87 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Liquor: liquor control commission; suspension of retailer license for dishonored payments under certain conditions; provide for. Amends 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1101 - 436.2303) by adding sec. 804.

SB 87 amends Michigan's liquor control code to require the Liquor Control Commission to suspend a liquor retailer's license for 14 days if the retailer has six or more payments to a wholesaler dishonored by a bank (due to insufficient funds) on different dates within 12 consecutive months. This directly affects licensed liquor retailers who repeatedly fail to cover payments to wholesalers. The key provision establishes a clear, automatic suspension trigger based on the frequency of bounced payments. The bill creates a specific enforcement mechanism to address payment issues between retailers and wholesalers under the existing code.
