BILL NUMBER:S6816B
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to beer and/or malt beverage tasting permits
Purpose of general idea of bill
This bill is designed to effectuate the legislative intent in the enact- ment of Chapter 439 of the Laws of 2007 and allow all brewers and distributors of beer and malt beverages to qualify for an annual tast- ings permit in addition to the daily permits available to them.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends subparagraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph 8 of section 51 of the alcoholic beverage control law to allow all applicants for off premises tasting permits authorized under this section to choose either an annual permit or a three-day permit.
Statement in support of legislation
When the Legislature approved what became Chapter 439 of the Laws of 2007 it had the intention of allowing all brewers or manufacturers of beer and malt beverages who distributed their beverages in the state of New York to have the ability to offer tastings at off-premises licensees and to allow all of these entities to have the option of seeking either an annual permit or a three day permit for this purpose. Unfortunately, due to an inadvertent drafting error in the original bill, certain out of state brewers' and manufacturers who do not possess a brewer's license pursuant to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law have been deter- mined to be eligible for only the three day permit. This legislation is designed to correct that issue and allow them access to the annual permit on the same terms and conditions as entities holding a Brewer's license from the State of New York. Enactment of this legislation is also necessary to ensure that there are no unintended violations of the United States Supreme Court holding in the Granholm case that prohibits this type of discrimination among entities involved in liquor distrib- ution.
Fiscal implications to state and local governments
None.
