Introduced

To allow direct shipments of wine for personal consumption from a retailer or a winery anywhere in the country to an individual in Michigan. A seller would have to apply for a state permit and pay a $100 fee, file quarterly reports with details of shipments into the state, could not ship more than 24 cases each year to a single customer, and would have to pay all applicable state taxes. The U.S. Supreme Court recently struck down Michigan’s law banning such shipments because it discriminates against out-of-state sellers. See also House Bill 4959 and Senate Bill 600, which ban wine shipments equally from in-state and out-of-state wineries.
