Relates to allowing bed and breakfasts to sell cider, liquor, beer and wine
This bill amends New York's alcohol control law to explicitly allow bed and breakfast establishments (B&Bs) to sell beer, wine, cider, and liquor on their premises, provided they hold the appropriate license. It updates existing provisions for breweries, wineries, and farm producers to include B&Bs as eligible venues for on-site alcohol sales, aligning them with restaurants and hotels under current licensing rules. B&Bs would need to apply for a specific license under the law, subject to all applicable regulations for alcohol sales. The change applies only to sales consumed on-site at the B&B, not for takeout or off-premises consumption.
