Summary
Bill S00315 proposes the establishment of a temporary New York craft beverage permit that allows licensed New York state farm distilleries, breweries, wineries, cideries, and meaderies to sell their products at events in municipalities with populations under one million. The permit would be valid for a maximum of 24 consecutive hours and would authorize the sale of all New York state-manufactured alcoholic beverages, including liquor, spirits, wine, beer, cider, and mead. The fee for obtaining this permit is set at fifty dollars, and permit holders are required to display their licenses prominently at the event.
