The People of the State of Michigan enact:
Sec. 513a. (1) Beginning October 1, 2011, the commission may issue to the governing board of a community college or university that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency as determined by the United States secretary of education under 20 USC 1099b and that operates an accredited culinary or hospitality program, without regard to the quota provisions of section 531, a license to sell alcoholic liquor for consumption at the community college’s or university’s culinary or hospitality program’s location for activities that further the community college’s or university’s community or academic mission.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (7), the sale of alcoholic liquor to patrons at a location other than the community college’s or university’s culinary or hospitality program’s location or at activities that do not further the community college’s or university’s community or academic mission, including, but not limited to, public and private gatherings or meetings that do not have a direct correlation to the community college’s or university’s community or academic mission, is prohibited under this section.
(3) To obtain a license under this section, a community college or university shall submit both of the following to the commission:

(ii) Within 180 days after the effective date of the amendatory act that added this section, a copy of the community college’s or university’s application to a regionally recognized accrediting body for accreditation of its culinary or hospitality program.
(4) The commission shall cancel a license issued under this section if, within 2 years of applying for a license under this section, the community college’s or university’s culinary or hospitality program is not accredited by a regionally recognized accrediting body, unless the community college or university demonstrates good cause for an extension of time to obtain accreditation by a regionally recognized accrediting body.

(6) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (7), a liquor license issued under this section shall be used by the community college or university and not by a private entity.
(7) Subject to section 531, the commission may issue a license to a private entity for the sale of alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises of an outdoor stadium located on land owned by Lake Michigan college and leased to a private entity. The prohibition in section 531(7) on licenses at outdoor stadiums does not apply to a license issued under this subsection.
