THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 532. (1) A club license allows the licensee to sell, for
consumption on the licensed premises, beer, wine, mixed spirit
drink, and spirits only to bona fide members of the club who have
attained the age of 21 years. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection (2), the commission shall not issue a license to a club
unless the club has been in existence for a period of not less than
2 years before the application for the license. As used in this
subsection, "bona fide members" means members of the club and
includes members of any affiliated, subsidiary, or parent
organization.
(2) Public notice of the intent of the commission to issue the
club
license shall must be given by publication in some a newspaper
published or in general circulation within the local governmental
unit
at least 10 days before the issuance of commission issues the
license. A club that is a chapter of a national organization that
has had a license for 10 or more years may apply for a license
without a waiting period. Public notice of the commission's intent
to renew the club license is not required.
(3)
Except in the case of for a club paying a maximum fee,

member.
The annual filing shall must
also include a statement that
the club's annual aggregate membership fees or dues and other
income, exclusive of the proceeds from the sale of alcoholic
liquor, are sufficient to defray the annual rental of its leased or
rented premises or, if the premises are owned by the club, are
sufficient to meet the taxes, insurance, repairs, and interest on a
mortgage on the premises.
(4)
The affairs and management of the club shall must be
conducted by a board of directors, executive committee, or similar
body chosen by the members. A member, officer, agent, or employee
of
the club shall must not be paid, or directly or indirectly
receive in the form of salary or other compensation, profits from
the disposition of alcoholic liquor to the club or to the members
of the club, beyond the amount of salary fixed and voted at
meetings by the members or by its directors or other governing body
and as reported by the club to the commission, within 3 months
after the meeting.
