A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4752 AS INTRODUCED 6-2-99
Under the Michigan Liquor Control Act, only the Liquor Control Commission and certain persons licensed or authorized by the commission are allowed to sell, deliver, or import alcoholic beverages into the state. House Bill 4752 would specify that the sale, delivery, or importation of alcoholic liquor would include, but not be limited to, "any transaction conducted by Internet, telephone, computer, or other electronic means." Anyone conducting such a transaction electronically or over the telephone would have to be licensed under the liquor code, pay any applicable taxes to the commission, and comply with all existing prohibitions of the code, which include, but are not limited to, a prohibition on the sale of alcohol to minors.
