The bill amends the existing law regarding the control of alcoholic beverage traffic in Michigan, specifically updating definitions and provisions related to alcoholic products and their distribution. Key insertions include the definition of "multibranded product," which refers to any beer, wine, mixed wine drink, or mixed spirit drink that includes two or more brands from different suppliers. Additionally, the bill introduces the requirement for suppliers to appoint wholesalers that have rights to the underlying brand of the multibranded product.
Furthermore, the bill clarifies various terms related to alcoholic beverages, such as "alcohol vapor device," "approved tasting room," and "alternating proprietorship," which outlines arrangements for multiple manufacturers sharing space and equipment. The amendments aim to enhance the regulatory framework governing the production, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages in Michigan, ensuring compliance with updated standards and practices. The act is set to take immediate effect upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 512.
