LIQUOR LICENSE FOR SOFTBALL CENTER - S.B. 742: COMMITTEE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 742 (as introduced 9-28-99)
Sponsor: Senator Loren Bennett
Committee: Economic Development, International Trade and Regulatory Affairs
Date Completed: 11-8-99
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to permit the Liquor Control Commission to issue, without regard to the Code's provisions on license quotas, 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 a license issued under the bill to another location. If a licensee, under the bill, went out of business, the license would have to be surrendered to the Commission.
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 locals would receive 55% of the license fee or $330. Total revenue collected under this change would depend on the number of additional licenses granted.
