The bill would amend the Michigan Liquor Control Code to allow the Liquor Control Commission to issue a national sporting event license for the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour Champions Tournament events in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

The Code allows the Commission to issue national sporting event licenses for the sale of alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises concerning a national sporting event, if the Commission finds that certain circumstances exist and the applicant meets eligibility criteria outlined in the Code.

"National sporting event" means a sports-related event considered of national prominence and includes only specific baseball, football, basketball, and golfing events that took place in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2016.

The bill would add the PGA Tour Champions Tournament events in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to the list of events considered a national sporting event.
