Michigan SB0068 prohibits displaying co-branded alcoholic beverages next to certain products in off-premises retailers.

Michigan SB0068 amends the 1998 Liquor Control Act to prohibit off-premises retailers with a sales floor over 2,500 square feet from displaying co-branded alcoholic beverages adjacent to soft drinks, fruit juices, bottled water, candy, toys, or snack foods that feature cartoons or youth-oriented images. Smaller retailers must either avoid such displays or post clear signage stating that the product is an alcoholic beverage available only to persons 21 years of age or older. Fines for violations will be deposited into the liquor control enforcement and license investigation revolving fund.
