2001 House Bill 4873

Introduced in the House

June 5, 2001

Introduced by Rep. Belda Garza (D-8)

To amend a law which currently allows a city with a population greater than one-million to grant a class C liquor license to a municipal golf course in Detroit, notwithstanding the population quotas of the liquor control code, by changing the qualifying threshold population from one-million to 750,000. Currently only the City of Detroit meets this criteria, a city which has recently seen its population change from over one-million to just under one-million according to the 2000 census. This is one of several bills (HB 4868-4873) which must be passed to permit the City of Detroit to continue to qualify for certain provisions of state law.
