Michigan HB5117 removes the quota for certain on-premises liquor licenses.

Michigan HB5117 amends the Michigan Liquor Control Act to remove the quota for certain on-premises liquor licenses. Specifically, it eliminates the requirement for the Liquor Control Commission to issue only one specially designated distributor license for every 3,000 people and one specially designated merchant license for every 1,000 people. The bill also removes restrictions on transferring these licenses to another location. The changes apply to licenses issued or renewed after January 4, 2017.
