Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act 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
Extends until November 22, 2010 the requirement that beer kegs be marked with an identification label or tag. In addition, the legislation would continue the keg registration fee of $50.
Summary of specific provisions
§ 1-Amends § 2 of Chapter 192 of the Laws of 2003 to extend the keg registration requirements until November 22, 2010.
Justification
A one year extension of the statute will afford additional time to continue to evaluate the efficacy of its provisions.
Existing law
Alcoholic Beverage Control Law (ABCL) § 105-c requires all kegs sold at retail for off-premises consumption to have a registration tag attached that indicates the name and address of the purchaser; the purchaser's identification number (i.e. license number); the amount of the container and registration deposits; the date and time of the purchase; and the keg identification number. This section became effective in 2003 and is set to expire on November 22, 2009.
Prior legislative history
The provisions of Chapter 192 of the Laws of 2003 were extended until November 22, 2008 by Chapter 614 of the Laws of 2007. Chapter 632 of the Laws of 2008 extended the requirement that beer kegs be marked with an identification label or tag until November 22, 2009 and reduced the required registration deposit from $75 to $500 on each keg of beer purchased.
