PURPOSE:

This is a chapter amendment that makes changes to provisions of L.2023,

age Control Law grating a license to Cornell University on behalf of the
New York state college of agriculture and life sciences and the New York
state agricultural experiment station, by changing the type of license
being granted from a farm winery license to a combined craft manufactur-
ing license, defining the land being licensed as being on a farm for the
purposes of this license, stating that alcoholic beverages can be served
at events on the licenses premises as long as the university or the
entities serving those beverages have the appropriate licenses, and
making additional technical changes.

Section 2 amends subdivision 10 of section 101 of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Law granting a license to the Broome County community college
and the Broome County culinary and events center, by changing the type
of license being granted from a farm winery license to a combined craft
manufacturing license, defining the land being licensed as being on a
farm for the purposes of this license, and making additional technical
changes.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as a

and mead at the community college in Broome county and Cornell universi-
ty, acting on behalf of the New York state college of agriculture and
