a public on-premises licensee who is licensed for the sale of
spirits and is also licensed as a food service establishment under
the food law of 2000, 2000 PA 92, MCL 289.1101 to 289.8111, that
enables the permit holder to sell and deliver spirits in the

permit authorized by this section shall be sold at the price fixed
by the commission for specially designated distributors pursuant to
section 229.

premises licensee, as a supplement to that on-premises license, to
allow the sale and delivery of spirits in the original sealed
container at locations other than the licensed premises and to
require the permit holder to provide for service of spirits at the
private event where the alcoholic liquor is not resold to guests.
(4) This section does not limit the number of SDD-C permits
the commission may issue within any local unit of government.
(5) This section does not prevent the holder from using the
SDD-C permit at multiple locations and events during the same time
period.
(6) This section does not prohibit an on-premises licensee who
is also the holder of an SDD-C permit from selling spirits to a
person who has obtained a special license under section 527.

approved and provided by the commission and pay an application and
processing fee of $70.00 and a SDD-C permit fee of $300.00 at the
time of issuance. The on-premises licensee shall also pay the SDD-C
permit fee at the time of renewal of the on-premises license.
