Bill > A07678

This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law by prohibiting wholesalers from charging any additional fees to licensed retailers beyond the purchase price of alcoholic beverages. Specifically, the legislation adds a new provision that prevents wholesalers from assessing any extra charges to retailers, regardless of previous legal provisions that might have allowed such fees. This means that when a licensed retailer in New York purchases alcoholic beverages from a wholesaler, they can only be charged the base price of the products, with no supplemental fees or surcharges allowed. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law, and regulatory authorities are authorized to prepare the necessary rules and regulations in advance of the effective date to ensure smooth implementation of the new restriction on wholesaler fees.
