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 community colleges, allowing them to obtain similar licenses for specific facilities.

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 facilitate the sale of alcoholic beverages in designated areas of educational institutions while maintaining regulatory oversight.
