Liquor: licenses; issuance of special licenses; modify. Amends 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1101 - 436.2303) by adding sec. 528.
Michigan House Bill 6278 amends the state's liquor control code to establish specific timelines for processing special license applications. It requires applicants to submit their paperwork at least 45 days before the desired event date and mandates that the commission approve or deny these requests no later than 10 days prior to that date. The bill also allows any individual authorized by the applying organization to sign the application form, rather than restricting signature authority. Additionally, it requires the commission to enable electronic submission of applications within 12 months of the law's effective date.
