                                                                                                      FLOOR SUMMARY

Senate Bill 329 (Substitute S-1 as reported)

Sponsor:  Senator Dave Hildenbrand

Committee:  Regulatory Reform

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to do the following:

-- Extend to a wine maker, distiller, and brandy manufacturer, a provision that allows a brewer to acquire, develop, sell, lease, finance, maintain, operate, or promote real property occupied by another vendor (except a wholesaler) under certain circumstances.

-- Limit to seven the number of those real property arrangements for each brewer, wine maker, distiller, or brandy manufacturer.

-- Delete a requirement that a State or Federal agency has designated the property as being in an urban, commercial, or community redevelopment area, although the local unit still would have to certify that the real property was in one of those areas.

The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bills 504 through 507, 650, and 651, and to House Bills 4277, 4709, 4710, and 4711, which would make various revisions to the Michigan Liquor Control Code.
