Liquor: licenses; license to sell alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises of certain locations; modify. Amends sec. 513 of 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1513). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4595'25
HB 4282 amends Michigan's liquor licensing law (MCL 436.1513) to change requirements for businesses selling alcohol for on-premises consumption. It directly affects restaurants, bars, and similar establishments seeking or holding licenses to serve alcohol at their locations. The bill modifies specific statutory provisions governing these licenses but does not specify new categories or additional restrictions. This change alters the existing legal framework for these permits without altering broader licensing categories.
