Bill > S00646

This bill makes permanent certain provisions related to liquidator's permits and temporary retail permits in the New York alcoholic beverage control law. Specifically, the bill removes language that would have caused paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 97-a of the alcoholic beverage control law to expire and be deemed repealed on October 12, 2025. By deleting this expiration clause, the bill effectively makes these provisions permanent, ensuring that the current rules governing liquidator's permits (which allow certain businesses to sell alcoholic beverages under specific circumstances) and temporary retail permits (which likely allow short-term sales of alcohol) will continue indefinitely. The bill was designed to provide long-term stability for these regulatory provisions, and it will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the substantive changes taking effect sixty days after enactment.
