S 5787 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to membership warehouse stores

This bill prohibits membership warehouse stores (like Costco or Sam's Club) from selling alcoholic beverages to retailers who present business or membership cards. It specifically bans sales to businesses using corporate, debit, credit, or membership cards that identify them as a retailer. Violations trigger escalating penalties: a written warning for the first offense, a civil penalty for the second, and license revocation for the third. The law applies immediately to all membership warehouse retailers selling alcohol under New York's Alcoholic Beverage Control Law.
