BILL NUMBER: S9151

SPONSOR: COONEY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the state finance law, the public buildings law, and the
parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in relation to requir-
ing events held by the state or on state property which include alcohol
to include alcohol produced within the state

 
PURPOSE:

Requires events held by the state or on state property which include
alcohol to include alcohol produced within the state.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the state finance law to require state agencies, the
legislature, and the judiciary that serve alcohol to serve alcohol
produced in New York State, with at least one made by a farm meadery,
brewery, cidery, or winery.

Section 2 amends the public buildings law to require all events at state
owned or leased buildings or grounds adjacent to state owned buildings
that serve alcohol must serve alcohol made within the state with at
least one option made by a farm meadery, brewery, cidery, or winery.

Section 3 amends the parks, recreation and historic preservation law to
require any event at a state operated or maintained historic site, park,
parkway or recreational facility where alcohol is served must include
alcohol with at least one option made by a farm meadery, brewery,
cidery, or winery.

Section 4 includes the effective date, which is one year after the bill
becomes law.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

From Finger Lakes wineries to microbreweries, New York State is home to
numerous excellent breweries, wineries, and distilleries that deserve to
be showcased by the state. Yet, it is a rare occurrence to find a New
York State produced alcoholic beverage at state facilities or at state
events. This legislation would require state agencies and state owned or
leased buildings that serve alcohol to include choices made right here
in the Empire State. It would also require state sponsored events to
serve alcohol made in New York, which includes events that occur at
state parks or state historic sites.  Additionally, this bill requires
at least one option to be from a farm meadery, brewery, cidery or winery
to ensure that small businesses and agriculture are included as well.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This bill will be effective one year after it becomes law.
