Requires catering permit holders to serve alcoholic beverages themselves and prohibits delivery-only operations; establishes application fee of $70 and permit fee of $100.

Allows catering permit holders to use approved third-party delivery services for municipalities surrounded by water and inaccessible by motor vehicle, with age verification requirements.

Requires catering permit holders and employees to complete commission-approved server training and comply with food service establishment requirements under Michigan's food law.
