Bill > S05144

This bill amends the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to require the chair and commissioners of the state liquor authority to file an annual financial disclosure statement, as mandated by section 73-a of the public officers law. Specifically, the bill updates the existing language about the state alcoholic beverage control board, replacing the term "chairman" with "chair" and adding a new provision that explicitly requires both the chair and commissioners to submit an annual financial disclosure statement. This requirement appears to be a transparency measure designed to ensure that public officials in leadership roles at the state liquor authority provide detailed information about their financial interests, which can help prevent potential conflicts of interest. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, meaning the new financial disclosure requirement will apply as soon as the bill is signed.
