The bill amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code of 1998, specifically section 513, to allow the Michigan Liquor Control Commission to issue licenses for the sale of alcoholic liquor on the premises of various educational institutions and their associated facilities. Notably, it permits the governing boards of colleges and universities to obtain licenses for conference centers, hotels, restaurants, golf course clubhouses, and baseball stadiums located on their land, provided certain conditions are met, such as fair market value leases and designated areas for development. The bill also introduces new provisions for Macomb Community College and Wayne County Community College, allowing them to sell alcoholic liquor at specific locations if the licenses were acquired at fair market value.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that licenses issued under subsection (1) are nontransferable and mandates that licensees pay the required fee. It also updates the definition of "licensed premises" to ensure consistency in the language used throughout the section. The amendments aim to streamline the process for educational institutions to sell alcoholic beverages while maintaining regulatory oversight and ensuring that sales are limited to specific events and locations.
