Senate Bill 201
Sponsor: Senator George A. McManus, Jr.
Committee: Economic Development, International Trade, and Regulatory Affairs Date Completed: 5-15-95
The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Act to specify that the Liquor Control Commission could not prohibit an applicant for a specially designated merchant (SDM) license from owning or operating motor vehicle fuel pumps on or adjacent to the licensed premises if the applicant or licensee maintained on the premises either a retail building of at least 900 square feet of gross leasable retail space, or a minimum inventory, excluding alcoholic liquor and motor vehicle fuel, of at least $10,000, at cost, of those goods and services customarily marketed by approved types of businesses.
Currently, the Commission may not prohibit an applicant for an SDM license from owning or operating motor vehicle fuel pumps on or adjacent to the licensed premises if the applicant or licensee maintains the minimum $10,000 inventory and is located either in a city, incorporated village, or township with a population of 3,000 or less and a county with a population of 31,000 or more, or in a city, incorporated village, or township with a population of 3,500 or less and a county with a population of less than 31,000. The bill would replace these provisions.
