ENROLLED SENATE BILL No. 1003
AN ACT to amend 2001 PA 267, entitled “An act to define and regulate milk, cream, frozen desserts, and related foods and by-products of those foods under certain circumstances; to prescribe certain powers and duties of certain state agencies and officers; to prohibit the sale of unclean and unsanitary milk and manufactured dairy products and their use in the manufacture of food products; to prohibit unclean and unsanitary conditions of milk and milk processing establishments; to establish production and handling standards of sanitary milk and dairy products for manufacturing and manufactured dairy products; to regulate the sale and transportation of milk and dairy products for manufacturing purposes; to issue licenses and permits to certain persons and provide for the revocation or suspension of licenses and permits under certain circumstances; to impose certain fees; to require certain security devices under certain circumstances; to establish inspection requirements; to promulgate rules; to set certain standards for milk and dairy products, processing, and pasteurization; to provide for penalties and remedies; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,” by amending section 110a (MCL 288.670a), as amended by 2008 PA 147.
The People of the State of Michigan enact:
Sec. 110a. (1) The department shall issue an initial or renewal license or permit for regulated activities described in section 110 other than a manufacturing grade dairy farm or a bulk milk hauler/sampler, not later than 90 days after the applicant files a completed application. Receipt of the application is considered the date the application is received by an agency or department of this state. If the application is considered incomplete by the department, the department shall notify the applicant in writing, or make the information electronically available, within 30 days after receipt of the incomplete application, describing the deficiency and requesting the additional information. The 90-day period is tolled upon notification by the department of a deficiency until the date the requested information is received by the department. The determination of the completeness of an application is not an approval of the application for the license or permit and does not confer eligibility of an applicant determined otherwise ineligible for issuance of a license or permit.
(2) If the department fails to issue or deny a license or permit within the time required by this section, the department shall return the license or permit fee and shall reduce the license or permit fee for the applicant’s next renewal application, if any, by 15%. The failure to issue a license or permit within the time required under this section does not allow the department to otherwise delay the processing of the application, and that application, upon completion, must be placed in sequence with other completed applications received at that same time. The department shall not discriminate against an applicant in the processing of the application based upon the fact that the license fee was refunded or discounted under this subsection.
(3) As used in this section, “completed application” means an application complete on its face and submitted with any applicable licensing or permit fees and fines as well as any other information, records, approval, security, or similar item required by law or rule from a local unit of government, a federal agency, or a private entity but not from another department or agency of this state. Under appropriate circumstances, completed application includes the completion of construction or renovation of any facility and the passing of a satisfactory inspection.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days after the date it is enacted into law.
This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
