 AN ACT to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation  to  the
   shipment of alcoholic beverages into the state
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Legislative purpose. The  legislature  finds  and  declares
 that  the  proper  regulation  and  control of the manufacture, sale and
 distribution of alcoholic beverages is in the best interest of the citi-
 zens of New York state. The legislature  also  believes  it  is  in  the
 interest  of  the  citizens of New York state to promote and support the
 state's wine and craft spirits industry. In furtherance of  these  poli-
 cies the legislature finds that requiring alcoholic beverage products to
 be  maintained  in  a  warehouse  owned or leased by a licensed New York
 state wholesaler for twenty-four  hours  will  allow  the  state  liquor
 authority  and  the New York state department of taxation and finance to
 verify the legality of such product and the proper payment of  taxes  on
 such product.
   §  2.  Paragraph  (a) of subdivision 1 of section 102 of the alcoholic
 beverage control law, as amended by chapter 210 of the laws of 2005,  is
 amended to read as follows:
   (a)  Except  as provided in section seventy-nine-c of this chapter, no
 alcoholic beverages shall be shipped into  the  state  unless  the  same
 shall  be  consigned  to  a person duly licensed hereunder to traffic in
 alcoholic beverages. NO SUCH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES SHALL BE DELIVERED TO A
 RETAIL LICENSEE OTHER THAN FROM INVENTORY STORED AT A PREMISES OR  WARE-
 HOUSE  LOCATED IN THIS STATE THAT IS OWNED, RENTED OR LEASED BY A WHOLE-
 SALER LICENSED BY THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SUCH INVENTORY SHALL BE  DEEMED
 TO INCLUDE ONLY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WHICH SHALL HAVE BEEN STORED IN SUCH
 PREMISES  OR  WAREHOUSE  FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST TWENTY-FOUR CONTINUOUS
 HOURS. This prohibition shall apply to all shipments of alcoholic bever-

 AN  ACT  to  amend  the  alcoholic  beverage control law, in relation to
   enacting the "beverage industry jobs act" relating to the shipment  of
   alcoholic beverages into the state
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as  the  "beverage
 industry jobs act".
   §  2. Legislative purpose. The legislature finds and declares that the
 proper regulation and control of the manufacture, sale and  distribution
 of  alcoholic  beverages  is in the best interest of the citizens of New
 York state. The legislature also believes it is in the interest  of  the
 citizens  of  New York state to promote and support the state's wine and
 craft spirits industry, a growing industry that  is  helping  to  revive
 local  economies  in  many  areas of the state. Helping the producers of
 alcoholic beverages while ensuring that all taxes are properly  paid  on
 all  wine  and liquor sales in the state will increase economic activity
 in the city and state, ensure that jobs that have left the  state  as  a
 result  of  the  lack  of  such  a law will return to the state and will
 increase tax revenue for the state that is currently  going  unpaid  and
 unaudited.
   §  3.  Paragraph  (a) of subdivision 1 of section 102 of the alcoholic
 beverage control law, as amended by chapter 210 of the laws of 2005,  is
 amended and a new paragraph (a-1) is added to read as follows:
   (a)  Except  as provided in section seventy-nine-c of this chapter, no
 alcoholic beverages shall be shipped into  the  state  unless  the  same
 shall  be  consigned  to  a person duly licensed hereunder to traffic in
