Introduced by Sen. Bob Emerson (D) on June 16, 2005, to prohibit direct shipments of wine for personal consumption from a retailer or a winery to an individual in Michigan. The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that Michigan’s law banning such shipments violates the Constitution’s commerce clause because it discriminates against out-of-state sellers. This bill applies the ban equally to all wine sellers and wineries.
- Referred to the Senate Government Operations and Reform Committee on June 16, 2005.

This is yet another example of why we should have a part time legislature. Way to much time to set around and look for things to do.
