THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 533. A retail vendor licensed under this act to sell for

 

consumption on the premises may apply for a license as a specially

 

designated merchant. A specially designated distributor may apply

 

for a license as a specially designated merchant. In cities,

 

incorporated villages, or townships, the commission shall issue

 

only 1 specially designated distributor license for each 3,000 of

 

population, or fraction of 3,000. Notwithstanding R 436.1133 of the

 

Michigan administrative code or any other rule promulgated under

 

this act, the commission shall not require that the proposed

distributor license be located a certain distance from an existing

 

specially designated distibutor's licensed establishment. The

 

commission may waive the quota requirement may be waived at the

 

discretion of the commission in this section if there is no

 

existing specially designated distributor licensee within 2 miles

 

of the applicant, measured along the nearest traffic route.
