A bill to amend 1998 PA 58, entitled “Michigan liquor control code of 1998,” by amending section 105 (MCL 436.1105), as amended by 2022 PA 226.
The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to modify the definitions of "brand" and "brand extension" for certain alcoholic beverages. Specifically, a brand would include various names of the supplier, and the bill would specify that new products using similar branding to an existing product would be considered a brand extension. The bill also specifies that distribution rights in effect before the bill's effective date would be preserved but that any new products after the bill's effective date that were based on a brand already in existence before the bill's effective date would still be considered brand extensions under the bill.
