BILL NUMBER: S6966

SPONSOR: VALESKY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to
promoting economic development by expanding products sold by farm cider-
ies and authorizing such cideries to sell cider to other licensees for
resale; and to amend the general municipal law, in relation to authoriz-
ing the sale of cider and wine at games of chance

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to promote the agricultural economy of New
York State by expanding, to a limited extent, the licensees and parties
that a farm cidery may sell its products to and the products manufac-
tured by other farm cideries and those commercial manufactures that
produce New York State labeled cider. And to permit wine and cider to be
sold during games of chance.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - Amends § 58 (3-a) of the alcoholic beverage control law to
permit New York State labeled cider producer to sell in addition to
their own cider any other NYS labeled cider to other licensed farm
distillers, farm wineries, wineries, farm cideries, cideries, and fam
breweries. Cideries will also be permitted to sell NYS labeled ciders
for retail consumption at the state fair, county fairs, and farmers
markets. Cideries will be permitted to conduct tastings of NYS labeled
ciders.

Section 2 - Amends § 58-c (2) (c) and (g) of the alcoholic beverage
control law to permit farm cideries to sell their own cider or other NYS
labeled ciders to wholesalers and retailers and other cideries.  Farm
cideries will be permitted to sell their cider or other NYS labeled
cider for retail consumption off premise at the state fair, county
fairs, and farmers markets.

Section 3 - Amends § 58-c (5) of the alcoholic beverage control law to
permit cideries to sell NYS labeled cider in retail by bulk.

Section 4 - Amends § 76 (2) of the alcoholic beverage control law to
create new paragraph d-1, permitting licensed wineries to sell to farm
distillers, farm wineries, wineries, farm cideries, cideries, and farm
brewers any NYS labeled cider.

Section 5 - Amends § 76 (3) and (5) of the alcoholic beverage control
law, permitting wineries to conduct tastings of NYS labeled ciders and
may sell such ciders. Wineries may also sell such cider for retail
consumption.

Section 6 - Amends § 76 (2) and (3) of the alcoholic beverage control
law, permits a farm winery to sell NYS labeled cider in bulk. Farm
wineries may also conduct cider tasting and offer such cider for sale.

Section 7 - Amends § 7-b (3) of the alcoholic beverage control law,
making technical changes to the definition of cider.


Section 8 - Amends § 194 (3) of the general municipal to permit wine and
cider to be offered for sale during games of chance.

Section 9 - Effective Date - 180th day after it becomes law.

 
EXISTING LAW:

Existing law permits all of the underlying activities such as sale to
other retailers, bulk sales, sale to other establishments, and tastings.
This legislation expands those activities to include NYS labeled ciders.
Additionally, under the current law beer may be sold during games of
chance. This legislation expands the sale to include wine and cider.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

This bill seeks to expand the opportunities for NYS labeled cider to
enter the market by permitting NYS labeled ciders to be sold, tasted,
and distributed in more locations across the state. The craft beverage
industry and locally produced alcoholic beverages have been an economic
boon to many Upstate New York communities; this legislation would permit
greater market availability for producers of NYS labeled ciders and
hopefully result in stronger sales.

premises or the sale of any other alcoholic beverage in  premises  where
