2023-S2853 - Sponsor Memo

                                 
BILL NUMBER: S2853

SPONSOR: SKOUFIS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to
permitting certain retail licensees to purchase wine and liquor from
certain other retail licensees

 
PURPOSE:

This bill would allow on-premises retail licensees like bars and restau-
rants to buy and resell small quantities of alcohol from wine and liquor
stores.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - Amends section 106 of the alcoholic beverage control law by
adding a new subdivision 2-b, which authorizes on-premises retail licen-
sees to buy up to 12 bottles of wine and liquor per week from off-prem-
ises retail licensees for resale and consumption.

Section 2 - Amends section 105 of the alcoholic beverage control law by
adding a new subdivision 24, which authorizes off-premises retail licen-
sees to sell up to 12 bottles of wine and liquor per week to on-premises
retail licensees for resale and consumption.

Section 3 - Effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

When on-premises retail licensees like bars and restaurants run out of
wine and liquor, they have no flexibility to immediately replenish those
bottles outside of arranging a purchase/delivery of such products from
their wholesaler. Unfortunately, two likely outcomes exist: (1) eating
and drinking establishments lose out on revenue, and (2) paying patrons,
including those at private and catered parties, miss out on their
preferred beverages. This bill would grant a little leeway to on-premis-
es retail licensees to quickly and easily buy small quantities of alco-
hol from a nearby liquor store without upending the traditional wholes-
aler-retailer relationship.

 
FISCAL IMPACT ON THE STATE:

Potentially greater tax revenue.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

Senate

2022: S8965 - Referred to Investigations and Government Operations
Assembly

2022: A10309 - Referred to Economic Development

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Effective immediately.
