UTICA, N.Y. — New York State Governor Kathy Hochul signed a new law to modernize liquor sales, benefiting small businesses.<\/p>\n

The legislation was co-sponsored by Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon.<\/p>\n

It allows bars and restaurants to purchase limited amounts of wine and liquor from off-premises retail licensees, like liquor stores, to quickly replenish inventory without waiting for wholesaler deliveries.<\/p>\n

“Previously, when bars and restaurants ran out of a particular wine and\/or liquor, they were offered no flexibility to immediately replenish those bottle options outside of purchasing such products from their wholesaler and waiting sometimes days for delivery, causing patrons to miss-out on their preferred beverages and leading to lost business revenue,” according to Buttenschon.<\/p>\n

The law permits on-premises retail licensees to buy up to six bottles of wine or liquor per week for resale and consumption.<\/p>\n

It also applies to licensed locations hosting or catering private events.<\/p>\n

Both purchasing and retail parties must retain receipts for State liquor authority requests.<\/p>\n

The new law will take effect 90 days after its enactment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UTICA, N.Y. — New York State Governor Kathy Hochul signed a new law to modernize liquor sales, benefiting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[5648,11545,1984,35731,9,11,10,49,51,50],"class_list":{"0":"post-68942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-bill","9":"tag-buttenschon","10":"tag-hochul","11":"tag-liquor-sales","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-headlines","14":"tag-new-york-news","15":"tag-new-york-state","16":"tag-new-york-state-headlines","17":"tag-new-york-state-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
