There hasn't been much noise on the smoking ban this legislative session, but Sen. Howard Walker (R-Traverse City) jumped in the fray today, much to the chagrin of Democrats.
Walker today won an amendment on Third Reading to the Department of Community Health (DCH) budget (SB 0950) that would preclude the Department from spending any money for smoking ban enforcement

ABATE: Governor Signs Helmet Choice Law
Michigan joins 30 other states to allow adult choice on helmet use, toughens standards
LANSING – After 46 years, Michigan now joins 30 other states in amending the mandatory helmet law in favor of adult choice. The Michigan legislature overwhelmingly approved SB 291 with broad bi-partisan support and Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed Public Act 98 into law, yesterday. The new law modernizes Michigan’s outdated mandatory helmet law, which was a holdover from bygone days leaving Michigan, in the minority—one of only 20 states left enforcing an empty federal mandate.

You’ve probably noticed by now that your Beverage Journal looks a little different this month. After collecting feedback from readers and MLBA members since December, we’ve decided to eliminate the MLCC Price List section in the back of the magazine.
With the MLCC now requiring online ordering for nearly all licensees in the state, the printed version of the Price List simply didn’t serve the same purpose it has in the past. Since we’ve provided the list as a public service each month — generating no advertising revenue, and no compensation from printing MLCC’s list — the conclusion was finally reached that it’s time to cut the significant expense from the Beverage Journal’s budget.

 LANSING – March 20, 2012 – The Michigan Liquor Control Commission has indicated that the annual license renewal process – underway now, and culminating at the end of April – may not be as lenient as years past. Licensees are urged to act promptly to make sure their license renewals are properly processed and paid for long before the April 30 deadline.
“The MLCC is under no obligation to allow leeway for late payments on license renewals,” said Ronalee Polad, of Techniques of Alcohol Management. “There has been an unspoken ‘grace period’ for renewals in the past, but the Commission is well within its rights to enforce these deadlines more strictly.”
