Section R. 436.1012 - Business entities dissolved, terminated, expired, revoked, or otherwise not in good standing
Current through Vol. 24-04, March 15, 2024
Rule 12.
(1) A licensed business entity that is dissolved, terminated, expired, revoked, or otherwise not in good standing in this state, shall not sell, offer for sale, furnish, or allow the consumption of alcoholic liquor on the licensed premises from the date the licensed business entity is dissolved, terminated, expired, or otherwise not in good standing until the date the licensee provides to the commission a certificate of good standing from the corporations, securities, and commercial licensing bureau. Electronic documentation from the state of Michigans business entity search is prima facie evidence of a business entity's dissolution, termination, expiration, revocation, or lack of good standing in this state.
(2) The licensee's licenses and permits shall be suspended until the date the licensee provides to the commission a certificate of good standing from the corporations, securities, and commercial licensing bureau.
(3) The commission shall not renew the licenses and permits of a licensee for active operation, whose licensed business entity is dissolved, terminated, expired, revoked, or otherwise not in good standing in this state until the licensee provides a certificate of good standing from this state. The license shall also be immediately suspended by written order of the commission and the licensee shall have 60 days from the date of the order to provide a certificate of good standing from the corporations, securities, and commercial licensing bureau or provide a written request to place the license in escrow. If the licensee fails to provide a certificate of good standing or a written request to place the license in escrow within 60 days of the date of the order, then the license shall be cancelled without further order of the commission. A license in escrow shall not be released for active operation until the licensee provides a certificate of good standing from this state. The licensee may apply for another license if the license is cancelled under this subrule.
(4) For purposes of this rule, "business entity" means any person as defined in section 111(1) of 1998 PA 58, MCL 436.1111(1).
