   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

 control  law,  as amended by chapter 361 of the laws of 1994, is amended
 to read as follows:
   1. Any person may apply to the liquor authority for a license to  brew
 beer  within  this  state for sale. Such application shall be in writing
 and verified and shall contain such information as the liquor  authority
 shall require. Such application shall be accompanied by a check or draft
 for  the amount required by this article for such license. If the liquor
 authority shall grant the application, it shall issue a license in  such
 form  as  shall be determined by its rules. Such license shall contain a
 description of the licensed premises and in form and in substance  shall
 be  a license to the person therein specifically designated to brew beer
 in the premises therein specifically licensed. SUCH A LICENSE SHALL ALSO
 CONTAIN THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY NUMBER.
   § 2. Section 53 of the alcoholic beverage control law, as  amended  by
 chapter 361 of the laws of 1994, is amended to read as follows:
   § 53. Wholesaler's  license.    Any  person  may  apply  to the liquor
 authority for a license to sell  beer  at  wholesale.  Such  application
 shall  be  in writing and verified and shall contain such information as
 the liquor authority shall require.  Such application shall be  accompa-
 nied  by  a  check  or draft for the amount required by this article for
 such license. If the liquor authority shall  grant  the  application  it
 shall  issue a license in such form as shall be determined by its rules.
 Such a license shall contain a description of the licensed premises  and
 in  form  and  in  substance  shall  be  a license to the person therein

 permittees in this state, and to sell or deliver beer to persons outside
 the  state  pursuant  to the laws of the place of such sale or delivery.
 SUCH A LICENSE SHALL ALSO CONTAIN THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY NUMBER. A
 wholesaler's  license  issued  or  renewed prior to July first, nineteen
 hundred sixty, and thereafter renewed or  transferred,  shall  authorize
 the holder thereof to sell beer at retail to a person for consumption in
 his home; provided, however, that regardless of the date issued, renewed
 or  transferred,  a  wholesaler's  license  issued to a brewer or to the
 wholly-owned subsidiary of a brewer, shall authorize the holder  thereof
 to sell beer at retail to a person for consumption in his home.
   § 3. Section 53-a of the alcoholic beverage control law, as amended by
 chapter 361 of the laws of 1994, is amended to read as follows:
   § 53-a. Vendor's  license.    In  cities  having  a  population of one
 million or more, any individual person may apply for a license  to  sell
 beer  as  a  vendor. Such application shall be in writing, and verified,
 and shall  contain  such  information  as  the  liquor  authority  shall
 require.  Such  application shall be accompanied by a check or draft for
 the amount required by this article for  such  license.  If  the  liquor
 authority  shall  grant the application it shall issue a license in such
 form as shall be determined by its rules. Such a license shall contain a
 description of the licensed premises and in form and in substance  shall
 be  a license to the person therein specifically designated to sell beer
 as a vendor in cities having a population of one million or  more  only,
 from  the  premises  therein specifically licensed. SUCH A LICENSE SHALL
 ALSO CONTAIN THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY  NUMBER.  A  vendor's  license
 shall  authorize  the holder thereof to sell beer at retail to be deliv-
 ered by such vendor to a person for consumption in his  home  and  shall
 authorize  the holder thereof to operate one vehicle for the delivery of
 beer, but shall not authorize the sale to any  person  or  licensee  for
 resale.
   § 4. Subdivision 5 of section 54 of the alcoholic beverage control law
 is amended to read as follows:

 and in form and in substance shall be a license to  the  person  specif-
 ically designated therein to sell beer at retail in the premises specif-
 ically  licensed,  not to be consumed upon said premises. SUCH A LICENSE
 SHALL ALSO CONTAIN THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY NUMBER.
   § 5. Subdivision 3 of section 54-a of the alcoholic  beverage  control
 law,  as added by chapter 235 of the laws of 1987, is amended to read as

 and  in  form  and in substance shall be a license to the person specif-
 ically designated therein to sell beer and wine products  at  retail  in
 the  premises  specifically licensed, not to be consumed upon said prem-
 ises. SUCH A LICENSE SHALL ALSO CONTAIN  THE  CERTIFICATE  OF  AUTHORITY
 NUMBER.

 is amended to read as follows:
   2. Such a license shall contain a description of the licensed premises
 and  in  form  and in substance shall be a license to the person therein
 specifically designated to sell beer in  the  premises  therein  specif-
 ically  licensed,  at  retail,  to be consumed upon such premises.  Such
 license shall also include the privilege of selling beer at retail to be
 consumed off the premises. SUCH A LICENSE SHALL ALSO CONTAIN THE CERTIF-
 ICATE OF AUTHORITY NUMBER.
