S 8741 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Removes the requirement of the state liquor authority to have not more than two members of the authority belong to the same political party

This bill removes a rule that limits the State Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority to having no more than two members from the same political party. Currently, this restriction is deleted from the law, allowing the governor to appoint board members without adhering to that specific partisan balance. The change affects the composition of the board by giving the governor more flexibility in selecting individuals for the three-year terms. Once passed, the new appointment process takes effect immediately, while current board members continue serving until their terms expire.
