A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4930 AS INTRODUCED 7-2-03

Under provisions of the Michigan Liquor Control Code, the Liquor Control Commission is authorized to issue, without regard to the population quota, a class C liquor license for a golf course that is owned by a county, city, village, or township, open to the public, and located in a county with a population of 1 million or more.

The bill would amend the code to also allow the commission to issue a class C liquor license, also without regard to the population quota, for a golf course owned by a city with a population greater than 190,000 but under 300,000, that is open to the public, and located in a county with a population between 500,000 and 700,000.
