BILL NUMBER:S6324
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to allowing retail licensees for on-premises consumption to join in a cooperative agreement for the purchase of alcoholic beverages
Purpose
This legislation would establish a cooperative buying system to enable groups of licensees to purchase alcoholic beverages.
Summary of provisions
The bill would add a new section 106-c to the alcoholic beverage control law to provide the above measure.
Justification
The practice of groups of individuals or companies joining together to make bulk purchases of goods is a well accepted method for reducing business costs. Trade associations, purchasing groups and many other organizations engage in this practice in order to save money for their participants.
On-premises retail alcohol beverage licensees are currently prohibited from benefiting from this practice to purchase alcoholic beverages from suppliers, a restriction which is a remnant of a regulatory need which has long passed. This increases operating costs and places small business owners at considerable competitive disadvantage to larger, corporate chains that can routinely afford to buy in bulk to keep costs at a minimum.
