The bill amends the Michigan liquor control code of 1998 by adding a new section, 609k, which allows vendors of spirits, their representatives, and third parties providing engraving services to engrave bottles of spirits before selling them to consumers. Specifically, it permits these parties to engrave bottles sold by specially designated distributors and outlines the process for returning engraved bottles to the distributor's licensed premises for consumer pickup. Additionally, it clarifies that possession of these engraved bottles by retailers does not violate existing regulations.

Furthermore, the bill allows for engraving of bottles purchased by consumers during consumer sampling events, provided these events are conducted in compliance with existing licensing requirements. This amendment aims to enhance consumer experience by enabling personalized engraving of spirits while ensuring compliance with the liquor control code.
