Liquor: other; engraving of bottles of spirits; allow, and modify definition of mixed spirit drink. Amends sec. 109 of 1998 PA 58 (MCL 436.1109) & adds sec. 609l.

This bill allows for the engraving of bottles of spirits, which means that liquor manufacturers can add designs or text directly onto their bottles. Additionally, it updates the definition of what constitutes a mixed spirit drink. These changes aim to enhance product marketing and consumer engagement.

Supporters of the bill argue that allowing the engraving of bottles will promote creativity and branding within the spirits industry, helping local businesses stand out. They believe this will also enhance the consumer experience by providing unique and personalized products.

Critics of the bill may argue that allowing bottle engraving could lead to increased production costs for manufacturers, which might be passed on to consumers. They may also express concerns about potential regulatory challenges and the need for oversight to ensure that labeling remains clear and informative.
