Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Alcohol brand owners face civil fines

The New York State Liquor Authority can impose civil fines of up to $30,000 on licensed brand owners for cause. The actual fine depends on the case; it is not a fixed $30,000 charge. Existing procedures for collecting unpaid fines through a default court judgment apply only when no appeal is pending.

Alcohol brand owners get paid licensing

Alcohol brand owners with a federal basic permit can apply for a New York brand owner's license. The license costs $125 each year. Holders can contract with New York-licensed manufacturers to make drinks within the manufacturer's license terms. They can appoint a New York-licensed wholesaler as their exclusive agent to arrange sales to retailers and collect payments. Brand owners can also sell drinks to that wholesaler and receive payment.
