The sponsor's argument
Why Jeremy Cooney says this is needed
Since the 1930s, when Prohibition was repealed, New York State law has restricted holders of alcohol manufacturing/wholesale licenses from having an interest in a retail license, and vice versa. Known as the "tied-house" laws, efforts have been made to modernize the law by addressing these types of archaic ownership issues. In the meantime, these provisions have been amended on occasion by exempting certain properties to support local economic development goals. Exemptions, such as that provided by this bill, are narrowly tailored to prevent undue market influence by identifying select parcels using metes and bounds descriptions.
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.
