  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

  Section 1. Section 53  of  the  alcoholic  beverage  control  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  361  of  the  laws  of 1994, is amended to read as
follows:
  S 53.   Wholesaler's license.   Any person may  apply  to  the  liquor

LICENSED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL REFUSE TO SELL BEER TO ANY  DULY
LICENSED  RETAILER  OR  WHOLESALER  SOLELY  BECAUSE  OF  THE  GEOGRAPHIC

contain  a  description  of  the  licensed  premises  and in form and in

licensed to duly licensed wholesalers, retailers and permittees in  this

to  the  laws  of  the  place of such sale or delivery.   A wholesaler's
license issued or renewed prior to July first, nineteen  hundred  sixty,
and thereafter renewed or transferred, shall authorize the holder there-
of  to  sell  beer  at  retail  to a person for consumption in his home;
provided, however, that regardless of the date issued, renewed or trans-
ferred, a wholesaler's license issued to a brewer or to the wholly-owned
