BILL NUMBER:S6341B
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to authorizing the state liquor authority to issue company permits for certain vehicles over sixty-five thousand pounds
Purpose
To expand the number of alcoholic beverage transportation permits to wholesalers and manufacturers.
Summary of provisions
Section ninety-four of the alcoholic beverage control law is amended by adding a new subdivision 2-b to provide for the issuance to licensed wholesalers and manufacturers company permits that allow vehicles over sixty-five thousand pounds hired or contracted by such licensee to transport alcoholic beverages with appropriate documentation as required listing delivery time and date of destination.
Justification
Current transportation permits issued under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law have limited the number of carriers to transport large quan- tities of alcoholic beverages from New York State breweries and manufac- turers. These limitations have increased the cost of hauling to these breweries and manufacturers by limiting competition and disadvantage many local haulers that find obtaining a permit cost prohibitive. This legislation would provide licensed brewers and wholesalers the ability to provide a company permit to haulers with full truckloads. The use of company permits will provide lower hauling costs for state brewers and wholesalers making their products more competitive. Finally, company permits will provide environmental benefits by lowering the incidence of empty trucks leaving breweries and manufacturing sites saving fuel costs to these haulers and lowering carbon emissions in the state.
