S 341 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits certain fees from being imposed by licensed wholesalers

This bill prohibits licensed alcohol wholesalers in New York from charging retailers any fees beyond the purchase price of alcoholic beverages. It directly affects licensed alcohol wholesalers and retailers by banning extra charges like "handling fees" or "distribution fees." The key provision adds a new rule to the state's alcoholic beverage control law, making it illegal for wholesalers to impose these additional costs. The law takes effect 90 days after enactment, with rules needed for implementation to be finalized before that date.
