The bill amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code of 1998 by updating definitions and classifications related to the sale of alcoholic beverages. It introduces new definitions for terms such as "Church," "Class A hotel," "Class B hotel," and "Class C license," which clarify the criteria for these establishments in relation to their licensing and operational requirements. Notably, the definition of "Class C license" has been reinserted, and the definitions for "Class A hotel" and "Class B hotel" have been modified to specify the number of rooms required for licensing, while also removing previous population-based criteria.

Additionally, the bill removes outdated definitions and replaces them with more precise language, such as the definition of "Financial records," which now encompasses a broader range of financial documentation. The term "Commission" is also redefined to maintain clarity regarding the regulatory body overseeing liquor licensing. Overall, the amendments aim to modernize the legal framework governing liquor sales in Michigan, ensuring that definitions align with current practices and standards.
