This bill amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code of 1998 by modifying Section 507 to allow the commission to issue licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages at publicly owned airport passenger terminal complexes without adhering to the previous quota requirements. Specifically, it enables owners or lessees of these airport facilities to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, and it updates references to the regulatory authority from the "federal aviation agency or the civil aeronautics board" to the "Federal Aviation Administration."
Additionally, the bill stipulates that customers who purchase alcoholic liquor from licensed vendors in these airport terminal complexes may possess and consume their purchases anywhere within the terminal, provided they have the approval of the airport's governing body. It also clarifies that licenses issued under this section are not transferable.
