MI HB4710

Eliminates proration of liquor license fees on a quarterly basis, requiring full fees to be paid for any portion of the license effective period under sections 525 and 529.

Modifies transfer fee language to clarify that applicants or licensees "must" pay transfer fees (rather than "shall"), with transfer fees also no longer subject to quarterly proration.

Updates statutory language throughout sections 525 and 529 by replacing "shall" with "must" for improved clarity and consistency in legal requirements.

Clarifies inspection fee payment language to specify "the applicant or licensee shall pay" rather than passive construction, affecting fees for new licenses, transfers, premises modifications, and stock transfers.
