Allows licensees to sell wine or liquor at retail to certain other licensees for resale for consumption off the premises

The entire cooperative agreement framework (new section 106-c) was removed, including provisions for up to ten licensees forming joint purchasing groups, cooperative employees, withdrawal rights, credit terms, invoicing standards, transportation rules, inventory commingling prohibitions, and public warehouse requirements.

A new subdivision 2-a was added to section 105 authorizing direct licensee-to-licensee sales. Section 63 licensees (retail wine/liquor off-premises) may buy and sell both wine and liquor to other section 63 licensees. Cross-category trades between section 63 and section 79 licensees are limited to wine only.

Both the selling and purchasing licensee must retain a receipt or invoice for each transaction showing the name, address, and license number of both parties, the date, a description of the beverages (brand and quantity), and the price. Records must be available for inspection by the authority.

The bill now distinguishes between two types of licenses (section 63 and section 79) with different trading permissions: same-type licensees can trade both wine and liquor, while cross-type trades are restricted to wine only.

The provision that any violation by one cooperative member would be a violation by all members was removed, as the cooperative structure no longer exists.
