Liquor Liability Insurance
Liquor Liability Insurance - Proof of Financial Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the applicant or licensee to ensure that the required proof of liquor liability insurance has been received by the MLCC using the Commission-approved Proof of Financial Responsibility (LC-95) form pursuant to administrative rule R 436.2005. Acord documents are not acceptable as a substitute for the LC-95 form and will be disposed of securely whether submitted by mail, fax, or email. Applicants, licensees, or insurance companies may submit the LC-95 form in electronic format to MLCCInsurance@michigan.gov.
