HB 5854 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Crimes: prostitution; references to prostitute and prostitution; modify in the Michigan liquor control code of 1998. Amends sec. 906 of 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1906).

This bill amends Michigan's liquor control code to establish a formal server training program and a "responsible vendor" designation for retail alcohol licensees. It requires new or high-risk establishments to ensure supervisory staff complete a curriculum covering intoxication signs, ID verification, and legal consequences, while allowing the state to delegate these training standards to private organizations. Licensees who meet specific criteria, such as having no recent violations of alcohol laws, can be officially designated as responsible vendors after their employees finish the approved training. The legislation also mandates that all servers on duty must have completed this training to remain compliant with state regulations.
