The bill amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code of 1998, specifically section 1114, to modify the regulations surrounding the sale of alcoholic beverages. It establishes that on-premises and off-premises licensees are prohibited from selling, giving away, or furnishing alcoholic liquor between the hours of 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. on any day. However, it introduces a provision allowing licensees issued a license under section 507 to sell alcoholic liquor at any time, provided they receive approval from the governing body of the applicable publicly owned airport.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that local governmental units retain the authority to prohibit the sale of beer, wine, spirits, and mixed spirit drinks during specific hours on Sundays. It specifies that a licensee wishing to sell alcoholic liquor between 7 a.m. and 12 noon on Sunday must obtain a permit and pay an annual fee of $160. The bill also notes that any references to time include daylight savings time when observed.
