LIQUOR LICENSEE EXTENDED HOURS H.B. 4706 (H-3): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 4706 (Substitute H-3 as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Representative Jerry O. Kooiman
House Committee: Regulatory Reform
Senate Committee: Economic Development, Small Business and Regulatory Reform
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to provide for an extended hours permit that would allow an on-premises licensee to engage in the following activities at any time other than legal hours for the sale and consumption of liquor:
-- Monologues, dialogues, motion pictures, still slides, closed circuit television, contests, other performances for public viewing on the licensed premises, if holding a permit for those activities.
-- Patron dancing, if holding a permit for that activity.
-- The performance or playing of an orchestra, piano, or other types of musical instruments or singing or the viewing of any publicly broadcast television transmission from a Federally licensed station.
The Liquor Control Commission could issue an extended hours permit to a licensee that already held or had applied for an entertainment, dance, or combination dance-entertainment permit, or a licensee that did not hold one of those permits but wished to host a musical performance or television broadcast. Local approval would be required.
An extended hours permit would not authorize the following: topless activity; gaming, as defined in the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act (except as provided for a casino licensee); Keno or other gaming authorized under the Lottery Act; the extension of hours for the serving of alcoholic liquor; or the extension of hours for the consumption of alcoholic liquor as provided for in the Administrative Code.

FISCAL IMPACT
There could be additional revenue generated if the Commission determined that a field inspection was necessary, in which case an inspection fee of $70 would be charged as required under MCL 436.1529. The amount of revenue generated would depend on the number of permit applications filed and inspection fees charged.
