Governor Gretchen Whitmer today signed House Bills 4035, 4363, 5322, and 5323 into law.

Removing Red Tape for Small Businesses

House Bills 5322 and 5323 cut red tape for wholesalers licensed by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) and make it easier for them to supply identifying information for tax purposes.

"Removing these requirements make it easier for liquor wholesalers to supply information for tax purposes," said Governor Whitmer. "As a result of this package of legislation, these businesses can focus on serving Michiganders, putting Michigan first."

Extension Decision Time on Sale or Exchange of State-Owned Land

House Bill 4363 extends the period the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has to approve or deny a proposed sale or land exchange of state land from 180 days to 210 days.

"Giving the DNR ample time to make decisions regarding public lands allows them to collect all the necessary information they need to make an informed decision," said Governor Whitmer.

House Bill 4363 was sponsored by Rep. Gary Howell, R - North Branch, and a copy can be found here.

Lake Level Assessment Payments

House Bill 4035 ensures payments associated with special assessments of lake levels will be prioritized, reducing the possibility of delinquent payments.
