Expands the ability of certain persons who sell alcohol to set the price of said alcohol
This bill (S 9162) amends New York's alcoholic beverage control law to expand pricing flexibility for alcohol sellers. It specifically modifies existing rules that previously restricted price discrimination between retailers or wholesalers and required detailed price schedules to be filed with the liquor authority. The key change allows manufacturers and distributors to set prices more freely for certain alcohol products, reducing the prior requirement to submit exhaustive price schedules for every brand and item. This directly affects alcohol manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers who sell branded products, streamlining their pricing processes under revised filing rules.
