AI Summary
This bill authorizes licensed off-premises liquor and wine stores to obtain a new permit allowing them to sell "low potency cannabis beverages," which are defined as single-use drinks containing no more than 5 milligrams of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound in cannabis). These beverages must be manufactured by New York State adult-use cannabis licensees. The bill also establishes new taxes on these beverages: a 9% tax on sales from distributors to permittees and a 13% tax on retail sales to consumers. The revenue generated from the 13% retail tax will be distributed, with portions going to the State Liquor Authority for implementation costs, the cannabis revenue fund for small business and equity programs, the cannabis revenue fund for trade practice oversight and illicit sale enforcement, local municipalities, and the general cannabis revenue fund. This legislation aims to regulate the sale of these specific cannabis products within existing alcohol retail establishments and allocate the associated tax revenue.
