2017 House Bill 4667 ↩

Senate Roll Call 245: Passed

To revise the particular interests that must be represented on a government grape and wine industry council, by adding a member who represents micro-brewer interests. Also, to revise this entity's mission to include providing the same kind of direct and indirect subsidies to those interests that it provides to wine making interests. In 2014 this operation reportedly received $927,898 from certain liquor license fees (taxes) and spent $797,000 on things that are intended to benefit the industry, including $373,000 on compensation for its staff. The bill would also change the entity's title to the "Michigan Craft Beverage Council".
