HB 4205 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Liquor: licenses; definition of qualified premises; provide for. Amends sec. 1111 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.1111). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4204'25

HB 4205 amends Section 1111 of Michigan's Liquor Control Code (MCL 289.1111) regarding the definition of "qualified premises" for liquor licenses. The bill aims to update eligibility criteria for locations seeking liquor licenses, which would directly affect businesses (like restaurants or retail stores) applying for or renewing such permits. The specific changes to the "qualified premises" definition are not detailed in the provided context, as the bill only references the amended statute. Without further description of the proposed definition changes, a complete policy summary cannot be provided. This is a substantive bill, not procedural, but the core mechanism remains unspecified in the available information.

What changed between versions

House Introduced Bill Substitute (H-1) · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was converted from an introduction draft to a substitute version, which involved renumbering the list of legal definitions and removing the original list of sponsoring legislators. The core policy definitions regarding food safety terms remain substantively identical, though some minor text corrections were applied to fix grammatical errors and redundant phrasing within the definitions.
TECHNICAL

The list of definitions was renumbered to fix a formatting error where the first definition was missing a number in the original draft.

Minor text corrections were made to fix grammatical errors and remove redundant words within the definitions of 'Shellfish dealer certification' and 'Vending machine'.

The list of sponsoring representatives and the committee referral information was removed, as this is standard when a bill is amended or replaced.
