BILL NUMBER:S5261A
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 396 of the laws of 2010 amending the alcoholic beverage control law relating to liquidator's permits and temporary retail permits, in relation to the effectiveness of certain provisions thereof
Purpose
To extend the temporary retail permit system within New York state's Alcoholic Beverage control law until October 12, 2012.
Summary of provisions
This bill would amend chapter 396 of the laws of 2010 to extend until October 12, 2012, the provisions of the alcoholic beverage control law which authorized the state liquor authority to issue temporary retail and liquidation permits.
Without this bill, such authorization would expire and be deemed repealed on August 3, 2011.
Justification
This legislation would continue the authorization of the state liquor authority to issue temporary retail permits to help businesses that are just starting and normally would have to wait for the Authority's extremely long backlog. This highly successful program has helped to promote economic growth, and the collection of tax revenue by having the business up and running with the local and state economy benefitting from the increased economic activity.
This bill also ensure that a licensee could not continue to obtain a liquidation permit, which would allow the licensee to sell its entire stock of alcoholic beverages to other licensees, if the former is considered delinquent under the provisions of section 101-aa or section 101-aaa of NYS Alcoholic Beverage law.
