LIQUOR LICENSE FOR SOFTBALL CENTER - S.B. 742 (S-2): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 742 (Substitute S-2 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Loren Bennett
Committee: Economic Development, International Trade and Regulatory Affairs
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to permit the Liquor Control Commission to issue in a county with a population of at least 1 million, a Class C license for a softball center that was owned by a county, city, village, or township and open to the public.
The Commission could not transfer the license to another location. If the licensee went out of business, the license would have to be surrendered to the Commission.
"Softball center" would mean a facility that had at least multiple fields or diamonds and had a year-round, indoor, sit-down food and beverage restaurant on the site.
Proposed MCL 436.1516 - Legislative Analyst: L. Arasim
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would create a new class of license for which the Commission charges a $600 licensing fee to cover administration costs. The State would retain 45% or $270, and the local unit of government would receive 55% of the license fee or $330. Total revenue collected under this change would depend on the number of additional licenses granted.
