House Bill 5119 (as passed by the House)

Sponsor: Representative Sal Rocca

House Committee: Regulatory Reform

Senate Committee: Economic Development, International Trade and Regulatory Affairs


Date Completed: 2-19-02


CONTENT


The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to decrease from $10,000 to $1,000 the annual license fee for manufacturers of spirits other than makers, blenders, and rectifiers of wines containing 21% or less of alcohol by volume.


MCL 436.1525 - Legislative Analyst: Patrick Affholter


FISCAL IMPACT


The proposed decrease in the license fee for manufacturers of spirits would have no State fiscal impact because the State currently licenses no manufacturers of spirits. If the lower fee led to new licensees in this area, revenue would increase.


The bill would have no fiscal impact on local government.
