The session proceeded with the introduction of several bills. Notably, Senate Bill 87 and Senate Bill 88 were both proposed to amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code of 1998, reflecting ongoing efforts to update regulations in the state’s liquor industry. These bills were referred to the Committee on Regulatory Affairs for further consideration.
