Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to the content of schedules to be transmitted to the liquor authority
Purpose
To allow liquor orders containing various flavors and sizes of products produced by the same manufacturer to be eligible for quantity discounts.
Summary of provisions
Subdivision 3 of section 101-b of the alcoholic beverage control law is amended by adding that different products or different sized bottles from the same manufacturer may be offered in combinations that entitle the retailer to a quantity discount.
Existing law
Quantity discounts are only available when applied to identical products.
Justification
Current law restricts wholesalers from offering quantity discounts to manufacturers on anything but identical products. This bill would expand the ability of wholesalers to offer discounts to retailers for combinations of products that are produced by the same manufacturer - allowing them to purchase an assortment of varieties and bottle sizes. This legislation would provide savings for both retail establishments and their consumers.
