THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subdivisions 5, 6 and 7 of section 100 of the alcoholic
beverage control law, subdivision 5 as amended by chapter 797 of the
laws of 1986, subdivision 6 as added by chapter 526 of the laws of 1939
and subdivision 7 as added by chapter 256 of the laws of 1978, are
amended to read as follows:
5. [No retail licensee for off-premises consumption shall sell, deliv-
er or give away, or cause, permit or procure to be sold, delivered or
given away any alcoholic beverage, other than as provided herein, on
credit: a retail licensee for off-premises consumption, except a winery
licensee, may accept third party credit cards for the sale of any alco-
holic beverage for which it is licensed; a winery licensee having the
right to sell wine at retail for off-premises consumption may accept
third party credit cards for the sale of said beverages at the winery
premises only; and any person duly authorized to sell wine at retail for
consumption off the premises may sell on credit to any regularly organ-
ized church, synagogue or religious organization, wines to be used for
sacramental purposes only. For purposes of this subdivision, beer and
wine products that are delivered and left at the residence of a consumer
without payment of the balance due thereon shall not constitute a sale
on credit.
6.] No licensee shall sell or purchase any receipts, certificates,
contracts or other documents issued for the storage of alcoholic bever-
ages except as provided by the rules of the liquor authority. The liquor
authority shall prescribe such rules for the purchase and sale of such

receipts, certificates, contracts or other documents issued for the
storage of alcoholic beverages which, in its opinion, will best accom-
plish
(1) Elimination of fraudulent and deceptive transactions;
(2) Protection of purchasers against defaults by sellers;
(3) The delivery of the alcoholic beverages represented by such
receipts or documents, and
(4) The payment of all taxes due thereon to the state.
[7.] 6. Within ten days after filing a new application to sell liquor
at retail under section sixty-three, sixty-four, sixty-four-a or sixty-
four-b of this chapter, a notice thereof, in the form prescribed by the
authority, shall be posted by the applicant in a conspicuous place at
the entrance to the proposed premises. The applicant shall make reason-
able efforts to insure such notice shall remain posted throughout the
pendency of the application. The provisions hereof shall apply only
where no retail liquor license has previously been granted for the
proposed premise and shall, specifically, not be applicable to a
proposed sale of an existing business engaged in the retail sale of
liquor. The authority may adopt such rules it may deem necessary to
carry out the purpose of this subdivision.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
