Introduced
by
To amend the state’s extraordinarily detailed and prescriptive "liquor control" regulatory regime to explicitly permit certain licensed liquor wholesalers to also sell “nonalcoholic beverages products,” subject to a lengthy list of regulations, restrictions and requirements. Note: The Michigan liquor industry’s lobbyists are extremely active and largely successful in pursuing revisions to this extensive body of law that limit competition and raise barriers to entry; in the first 17 months of the current legislature 14 new laws have been enacted in this area, and since 2000 nearly 200 such bills have been signed into law.
