This morning the House Regulatory Reform committee passed\u00a0<\/span>SB 846<\/a>\u00a0(Sen. Dave Hildenbrand, R – Lowell), a bill that amends the Michigan liquor control code dealing with redevelopment liquor licenses and is identical to\u00a0<\/span>HB 4257<\/a>\u00a0(Rep. Cindy Denby, R – Fowlerville) that passed the House late last year. According to a recent determination by the Liquor Control Commission, only businesses in cities are eligible for redevelopment liquor licenses. This determination is counter to the last six years, where the Liquor Control Commission has allowed the redevelopment licenses in redevelopment districts to be for cities, villages, or townships. This bill is an attempt to rectify this issue and clarifies eligibility for the redevelopment liquor licenses in the development districts to cities, villages, and townships. We have heard from multiple villages worried about this because their redevelopment efforts are coming to a halt without being eligible for these redevelopment licenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bill now moves onto the full House for passage.<\/p>\n

Nikki Brown is a legislative associate for the League handling economic development and land use issues. \u00a0She can be reached at nbrown@mml.org or 517-908-0305.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
