A07392 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A7392
 
SPONSOR: Bronson
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to establishing a temporary New York craft beverage permit   PURPOSE: To allow licensed New York state farm distilleries, breweries, cideries, wineries, or meaderies, to apply for temporary 24-hour permits from the SLA.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Authorizes the state liquor authority to issue temporary permits to a licensed New York state farm distillery, brewery, winery, cidery or meadery, effective for a period not longer than 24 hours at outdoor' or indoor gatherings, functions, occasions or events located in a municipality with less than one million people. Charges a fee of $50 to apply for this permit. Section 2: Sets effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: To create equity and fairness for those in the craft beverage industry in their ability to apply for specific permits. Under current law, producers of specialty spirits such as farm distillers, cannot make their product available at any event. Unlike beer and wine, there is currently no permit process under New York law for distilled spirits. Beer and-wine may be served at weddings and other events once a permit is obtained from the State Liquor Authority. However, those who produce specialty spirits like farm distillers, are not afforded this same opportunity as there is no permit process available to them. This legislation sees to correct this inequity in the law.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2020- A10066, Referred to Economic Development 2021-2022- A2568, Referred to Economic Development   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
