BILL NUMBER:S4800
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to authorizing farm distillery licensees to sell gift items
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow farm distilleries to sell gift items.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1: Amends subdivision 2-c of section 61 of the alcoholic beverage control law by adding a new paragraph (h) Section 2: Effective date
Justification
For New York State's four farm-based beverage licenses, three of which have provisions to explicitly allow for non-manufactured items (marketing materials, gifts, apparel, etc.) to be sold on premises However, farm distillers do not have such a provision, thus making sales of other products sold at each distillery a prohibited activity.
Farm-based beverage producers, as tourism destinations and regional draws, generate revenue through gifts and destination-specific items. This bill would provide equity for farm distillers with the other farm-based beverage licenses.
