Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

To amend the alcoholic beverage control law, SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends the alcoholic beverage control law by adding a new section, 106-c, and provides definitions for "private-label liquor", "holder of a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on the premises", and "licensed distiller." A holder of a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on the premises may sell bottles of private-label liquor at retail for off-premises consumption provided that such private-label liquor is: distilled within the borders of the state of New York by a licensed distiller; and not sold in excess of a volume of seventy-five thousand gallons per year. The label of the private-label liquor shall clearly indicate that the product is produced by a licensed distiller. The total annual sales volume of private-label liquors as allowed under this section by a holder of a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on the premises shall be reported to the liquor authority annually by such holder of a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on the premises. Section 2: This act shall take effect on the one hundred-eightieth day after it shall have become a law.

The sponsor's argument

Why Patricia Fahy says this is needed

The craft beverage industry is a cornerstone of New York's economy and will continue to be relied upon for increases in jobs and tax revenues. This bill will continue to help that industry grow and encourage New Yorkers to support local sellers and restaurants. Craft alcohol is a unique industry in that it is solely comprised of mom-and-pop companies. Considering increasing barriers to running small businesses, including inflation, providing another pathway for the craft beverage industry to distribute its product is critical.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
