The bill amends the Michigan liquor control code of 1998 by adding a new section, Sec. 528, which outlines the application process for a special license. It mandates that applicants must submit their applications to the commission at least 45 days prior to the desired license date. If approved, the commission is required to finalize the application no later than 10 days before the requested date. Additionally, the bill allows any individual authorized by an organization to sign the application form on behalf of the organization.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision that permits applicants to electronically submit their applications to the commission within 12 months of the section's effective date, as determined by the commission. In conjunction with these new provisions, the bill also rescinds existing rules R 436.575 and R 436.576 of the Michigan Administrative Code, streamlining the application process for special licenses.
