Requires commission to verify violations before suspending or revoking the licensee's license and any associated permits.

Mandates that applications for initial licensure or license transfers include a notice informing buyers that they can be held liable for previous owner's tax debts and should request a tax clearance certificate from the Michigan Department of Treasury.
