MI SB1002

Amends the Michigan Liquor Control Code to add new subsections (5) and (6) establishing a 60-day conditional license for applicants seeking initial off-premises alcohol sales licenses who submit complete applications, acceptable financial responsibility proof, and applicable fees.

Requires the liquor control commission to grant or deny the conditional license within 14 calendar days of request, allowing businesses to begin operations while their full application is being processed.

Permits one 30-day extension of the conditional license and mandates immediate suspension if the initial license application is denied, financial responsibility lapses, or violations occur.

Makes grammatical and clarifying edits to existing license fee provisions in section 525, including changes to language regarding specially designated merchants and hotel classifications.

Requires the commission chair to submit annual reports by December 1 detailing the number of applications processed within the 90-day requirement, applications denied, and refunds issued for delayed processing.
