Michigan HB4823 amends liquor distribution laws, including definitions and restrictions on sales and sampling.

Michigan HB4823 amends the 1998 Liquor Control Act to redefine terms like "alcohol" and "alcoholic liquor." It restricts the sale of alcohol to intoxicated individuals and limits the use of breathalyzer or blood alcohol test results in certain situations. The bill allows wholesalers to sell beer to brewers for tasting rooms and permits sampling under specific conditions. It also establishes the Michigan Craft Beverage Council to promote and market Michigan agricultural products used in beverages. The council can accept grants, conduct research, and develop financial aid programs for growers.
