An act to amend 1998 PA 58, entitled “An act to create a commission for the control of the alcoholic beverage traffic within this state, and to prescribe its powers, duties, and limitations; to provide for powers and duties for certain state departments and agencies; to impose certain taxes for certain purposes; to provide for the control of the alcoholic liquor traffic within this state and to provide for the power to establish state liquor stores; to prohibit the use of certain devices for the dispensing of alcoholic vapor; to provide for the care and treatment of alcoholics; to provide for the incorporation of farmer cooperative wineries and the granting of certain rights and privileges to those cooperatives; to provide for the licensing and taxation of activities regulated under this act and the disposition of the money received under this act; to prescribe liability for retail licensees under certain circumstances and to require security for that liability; to provide procedures, defenses, and remedies regarding violations of this act; to provide for the enforcement and to prescribe penalties for violations of this act; to provide for allocation of certain funds for certain purposes; to provide for the confiscation and disposition of property seized under this act; to provide referenda under certain circumstances; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,” by amending section 609h (MCL 436.1609h), as added by 2022 PA 225.
The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to do the following: -- Delete a provision that would prohibit a manufacturer or supplier from issuing an electronic rebate coupon that resulted in the retail customer's purchase of alcoholic liquor being below the retailer's cost. -- Prohibit a manufacturer or supplier from issuing an electronic rebate coupon that made any alcoholic liquor free. -- Allow, instead of prohibiting, a manufacturer or supplier to issue rebate coupons that require the purchase of a product other than alcoholic liquor.
