Makes permanent certain provisions relating to liquidator's permits and temporary retail permits
This bill makes permanent specific rules for two types of alcohol permits: "liquidator's permits" (allowing businesses to sell remaining alcohol inventory after closing) and "temporary retail permits" (for short-term alcohol sales events). It updates existing law to remove the temporary expiration date for these permit provisions, ensuring they remain in effect indefinitely. The only exception is one specific rule (related to section 97-a), which will still expire on October 12, 2025. This directly affects businesses seeking or holding these permit types under New York's alcoholic beverage control law.
