Bill > A03754

This bill requires all state agencies, the legislature, and the judiciary to include locally produced alcoholic beverages when procuring drinks for events where alcohol will be served. Specifically, when planning an event that will include alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, or spirits, these government bodies must ensure that at least some of the alcohol is produced within the state of New York. This means that state-sponsored events, conferences, meetings, or other gatherings where alcohol is served must now include beverages made by New York state producers. The bill provides a one-year implementation period, giving state entities time to adjust their procurement practices and establish relationships with local alcohol producers. The goal appears to be supporting the state's local alcohol production industry and promoting New York-made products at official government events.
