S 5093 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the liquor authority to issue temporary liquor permits

This bill (S 5093) allows New York's Liquor Authority to issue two types of permits: 1) **Temporary permits** ($40 fee) for up to 24 hours to sell New York-made liquor at private events (e.g., weddings, corporate functions) held on licensed premises during permitted hours. 2) **Annual permits** ($80 fee) for distillers/importers/wholesalers to sell liquor for private, non-public events (no admission fees, no resale allowed), requiring buyers to sign a statement promising no resale. Both permits require compliance with Liquor Authority rules, and the bill explicitly excludes home consumption. It does not change existing retail licensing rules.
