BILL NUMBER:A10808
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to the registration fee for kegs; and to amend chapter 192 of the laws of 2003 amending the alcoholic beverage control law relating to the registration of kegs, in relation to extending the provisions of such chapter
Purpose of the bill
This bill would continue the requirement that beer kegs be marked with an identification label or tag for one year. In addition, this bill would reduce the required registration deposit on each keg of beer purchased from $50 to $25.
Summary of specific provisions
§ 1- Amends subdivision 5 of § 105-c of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to reduce the registration deposit on each keg of beer purchased from $50 to $25.
§ 2- Amends § 2 of Chapter 192 of the Laws of 2003 by extending the beer keg registration requirements for one year.
§ 3- Effective date.

This section became effec- tive in 2003 and is set to expire on November 22, 2010.

A one year extension of the statute will afford additional time to continue to evaluate the efficaciousness of its provisions.
