Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Section 17 of the Michigan Liquor Control Act sets forth
that all applications for licenses to sell beer and wine or spirits for consumption
on the premises shall be approved by the local legislative body in which said
applicant's place of business is located before being granted a license by the
commission, before the annual renewal of said lice , and for the purpose of revocation
of said license by the commission, except in counties of 1,000,000 population or
over; and
, currently the population of the County of Oakland is in excess
of 950,000, however, it is estimated that the population of the County of Oakland
will exceed 1,000,000 by the 1980 census; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the local community to retain
effective control over the issuance, annual renewal, and revocation of the Class C
licenses within its jurisdiction, and in order for the local community to retain
effective control, the Michigan State Legislature would have to introduce legislation
amending the Michigan Liquor Control Act;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that a member of the Michigan
State Legislature introduce appropriate legislation which would amend Section 17
of the Michigan Liquor Control Act to remove the limitation of approval, annual
renewal, and revocation of Class C licenses by local legislative bodies in counties
of 1,000,000 population or over; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the
Governor, the County's legislative representatives in Lansing and to the County's
Legislative Agent.
