BILL NUMBER:S606 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to authorizing certain wholesalers authorized to sell beer at retail for off premises consumption to sell certain goods PURPOSE: To allow Class C license bearing beer wholesalers to sell grocery and pantry items. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 provides that certain beer wholesalers will no longer be prohibited from selling various goods other than alcohol and beverages, provided that no more than twenty five percent of the public floor space of the licensed premises is devoted to doing so. Section 2 provides for an immediate effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Bearers of 'C licenses', those issued prior to July 1, 1960 under the Alcoholic Beverage Control law are currently prohibited from selling anything other than beer, tobacco, water, mixers and non-alcoholic snack foods. There are only 400 "C licensees" in New York State, largely in New York City who are more engaged in retail activity than beer wholesaling.
