BILL NUMBER:S6974
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 of the Bill:
This bill would extend by one year the sunset for the provision in
Section 97-a of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law ("ABCL") that allows the State Liquor Authority ("Authority") to issue temporary permits to certain retail applicants while they await a full review of their license applications.
Summary of provisions:
Section 1 of the bill would amend Chapter 396 of the Laws of 2010, to extend by one year the sunset provision for ABCL § 97-a(1)(b) currently set to expire on October 12, 2014.
ABCL § 97-a allows the Authority to issue temporary permits to applicants for retail licenses. These permits allow applicants to operate while the application is pending. The permits can only be issued to applicants who buy a business that is currently licensed.
Chapter 396 of the Laws of 2010 added a provision, § 97-a(1)(b), that allows the Authority to issue temporary permits to certain other retail applicants for locations that are not currently licensed. The provision only applies to locations outside of the City of New York.
Section 2 of the bill would make the amendment effective immediately.
Existing law:
The current law will expire on October 12, 2014.
Legislative History:
One year extenders have been passed every year since 2010. (Chapter 122 of the Laws of 2013, Chapter 141 of the Laws of 2012, and Chapter 442 of the Laws of 2011).
Statement in support:
Extension of this amendment will allow the Authority to continue to issue temporary retail permits to applicants outside of New York City who would otherwise be ineligible for such permits. With these permits, applicants can open their businesses while they await a full review of their applications and issuance of their licenses. The Authority would retain its power to summarily suspend or cancel the permits for good cause.
Budget implications:
None.
Local impact:
None.
Effective Date:
This bill would take effect immediately.
