Crimes: prostitution; references to prostitution; modify in the Michigan liquor control code of 1998. Amends sec. 906 of 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1906). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5016'25
This bill amends Michigan's liquor control code to require server training for employees at alcohol-serving establishments, directly affecting bars, restaurants, and retail licensees. It establishes a "responsible vendor" program for licensees that complete mandatory training and maintain a 12-month violation-free record regarding serving to minors or intoxicated persons. The training curriculum covers identifying intoxication signs, handling minors, legal consequences, and recognizing prohibited activities like solicitation for prostitution or drug sales. Licensees must ensure trained supervisory staff are present during all service hours, with noncompliance risking license sanctions.
