BILL NUMBER:S6547A
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to removing restrictions on wine and liquor auctions
Purpose
To remove restrictions on wine and liquor auctions.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends paragraph (b) of subdivision 2 of section 99-g of the alcoholic beverage control law by removing the restriction that a wine and liquor auction permit shall allow the holder to conduct twenty-four auctions of wine and/or liquor during the period the wine and liquor permit shall be in effect.
Section two provides the effective date.
Justification
Wine and liquor retailers must obtain a wine and liquor auction permit each year, which limits them to conducting only twenty-four auctions for the year. This bill will still require the retailers to obtain the permit, but the permit would not restrict the number of auctions that may be held.
New York is a center of the fine wine market, which includes auctions of privately-held stocks. The limitation of twelve auctions per year is an impediment to business, especially with the rise in internet auctions. This legislation will ensure that New York retailers are able to remain competitive in the lucrative auction business.
