BILL NUMBER:S5758 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to the manner of posting and changing beer prices to wholesalers and retail licensees PURPOSE: This legislation limits-the price charged for beer to retail beer licensees in relation to the price charged non-contracted beer wholesalers. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds section 53-b of the alcoholic beverage control law requiring brewers and franchised wholesalers to maintain a price differential from wholesalers to retailers. JUSTIFICATION: New York must maintain its Three-tier beer distribution system (brewers, wholesalers, non contracted wholesalers, retailers), Wholesalers are using their exclusive agreements to unfairly undermine the non-contracted wholesalers positioning the market. This bill would allow non-contracted wholesalers to compete fairly with the contracted wholesaler and foster lower prices to consumers.
