Michigan bars could stay open to 4am under new bill

A bill that would allow some bars to sell liquor until 4 a.m. moved out of the Senate Regulatory Reform Committee on Thursday.

Sponsoring Sen. Virgil Smith, D-Detroit, said today that he got the idea to expand 2 a.m. bar hours from businesses in his downtown district.

Bar owners would have to pay a $10,000 fee to have this happen, and the city they're located in also has to approve it.
