Michigan HB6054 amends beverage container laws to clarify requirements for container redemption and sales.

Michigan HB6054 amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code to clarify requirements for beverage container redemption and sales. The bill specifies that manufacturers of nonalcoholic beverages cannot sell beverages in certain containers if sales or redemptions exceed certain thresholds. For example, manufacturers cannot sell nonalcoholic beverages in 12-ounce metal containers if sales were fewer than 500,000 cases and redemptions exceeded 600,000 containers. The bill also mandates that dealers provide counter redemption if reverse vending machines are inoperable.
