Bill > A06726

This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to allow liquor wholesalers to transport and sell specific non-alcoholic items: tonic water, bitters, maraschino cherries, and dealcoholized wine. Currently, wholesalers are restricted from engaging in other business activities on their licensed premises, but this legislation expands the list of permissible goods they can sell. The bill modifies two sections of the law: Section 104, which governs wholesaler activities, and Section 63, which addresses licensing requirements. By adding these specific items to the list of allowable sales, the bill provides more flexibility for liquor wholesalers in their business operations. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill becomes law, giving businesses time to adapt to the new regulations. This modification appears to be a minor expansion of permitted sales that could provide additional convenience for liquor stores and potentially create new revenue streams for wholesalers.
