A 6277: Establishes a brand owner's license

This bill amends New York's alcoholic beverage control law to adjust civil penalty limits for license violations and streamline enforcement. It sets specific maximum fines: $10,000 for most retail licenses, $30,000 for wholesale licenses, and $100,000 for certain brand owner licenses. If a fine remains unpaid 45 days after notice, the liquor authority must send a 20-day payment warning before pursuing a court judgment for unpaid amounts. The changes directly affect businesses holding liquor licenses (retail, wholesale, or brand owner) by clarifying penalty tiers and adding a formal default judgment process for unpaid fines.
