436.1543 Disposition and use of retailers' license and license renewal fees; special fund; direct shipper enforcement revolving fund; "license fee enhancement" defined.
Sec. 543.
(1) Quarterly, upon recommendation of the commission, the state shall pay pursuant to appropriation in the manner prescribed by law to the city, village, or township in which a full-time police department or full-time ordinance enforcement department is maintained or, if a police department or full-time ordinance enforcement department is not maintained, to the county, to be credited to the sheriff's department of the county in which the licensed premises are located, 55% of the amount of the proceeds of the retailers' license fees and license renewal fees collected in that jurisdiction, for the specific purpose of enforcing this act and the rules promulgated under this act. Forty-one and one-half percent of the amount of the proceeds of retailers' license and license renewal fees collected shall be deposited in a special fund to be annually appropriated to the commission for carrying out the licensing and enforcement provisions of this act. Any unencumbered or uncommitted money in the special fund shall revert to the general fund of the state 12 months after the end of each fiscal year in which the funds were collected. The legislature shall appropriate 3-1/2% of the amount of the proceeds of retailers' license and license renewal fees collected to be credited to a special fund in the state treasury for the purposes of promoting and sustaining programs for the prevention, rehabilitation, care, and treatment of alcoholics. This subsection does not apply to retail license fees collected for railroad or Pullman cars, watercraft, or aircraft, or to the transfer fees provided in section 529.
(2) All license and license renewal fees, other than retail license and license renewal fees, shall be credited to the grape and wine industry council created in section 303, to be used as provided in section 303. Money credited to the grape and wine industry council shall not revert to the state general fund at the close of the fiscal year, but shall remain in the account to which it was credited to be used as provided in section 303.
(3) All retail license fees collected for railroad or Pullman cars, watercraft, or aircraft, and the transfer fees provided in section 529 shall be deposited in the special fund created in subsection (1) for carrying out the licensing and enforcement provisions of this act.
(4) The license fee enhancement imposed for licenses issued under section 531(3) and (4) shall be deposited into a special fund to be annually appropriated to the commission for enforcement and other related projects determined appropriate by the commission. The money representing that amount of the license fees for identical licenses not issued under section 531(3) and (4) shall be allocated and appropriated under subsection (1).
(5) The license fee imposed on direct shipper licenses and any violation fines imposed by the commission shall be deposited into the direct shipper enforcement revolving fund. The direct shipper enforcement revolving fund is created within the state treasury. The state treasurer shall direct the investment of the fund. The state treasurer shall credit to the fund interest and earnings from fund investments. Money in the fund at the close of the fiscal year shall remain in the fund and shall not lapse to the general fund. The commission shall expend money from the fund, upon appropriation, only for enforcement of the provisions of section 203 and related projects.
(6) As used in this section, "license fee enhancement" means the money representing the difference between the license fee imposed for a license under section 525(1) and the additional amount imposed for resort and resort economic development licenses under section 525(2).
