  the pendency of the application. The provisions hereof shall apply  only

  check or other instrument described herein tendered by a retail licensee
  on the delinquent list is not honored upon presentment for payment,  the
  license  of  such  retail  licensee  may  be suspended for not more than
  fifteen days for the first offense, and not more than sixty days  for  a
  subsequent  offense,  which  penalty shall be in addition to the penalty
  provided for by the provisions of subdivision six of this  section,  and
  provided   further,  that  nothing  herein  contained  shall  require  a
  manufacturer or wholesaler to accept a check tendered by or drawn on the
  account of a retail licensee on the delinquent list unless the same  has
  been certified.
    2.  No  manufacturer  or  wholesaler licensed under this chapter shall
  sell or deliver any liquor or wine to  any  retail  licensee  except  as
  provided for in this section:
    (a) for cash to be paid at the time of delivery; or
    (b)  on  terms  requiring  payment  by  such  retail licensee for such
  alcoholic beverages on or before the final payment date  of  the  credit
  period for which delivery is made.
    3.  Each  such  manufacturer  and wholesaler is hereby required, on or
  before the respective notification dates for  each  retail  license,  to
  give  written  notice  of  default,  by  first  class  mail, to all such
  licensees therein who have failed to make payment to him or  her  on  or
  before  their  final  payment  date  for  alcoholic  beverages  sold  or
  delivered to them during a credit period ending on their  final  payment
  date.  No  retail  licensee shall be placed in default if the wholesaler
  has issued an account credit to the licensee, which after application to
  all debts owed by the retail licensee, is equal to or greater  than  the
  amount  of  the  default. Any such retail licensee receiving such notice
  shall not thereafter purchase alcoholic beverages except for cash  until
  such  time as the authority determines that his or her name shall not be
  published on the delinquent list as provided in subdivision four of this
  section, or until such time as the authority permits sales or deliveries
  to him or her as provided in subdivision five of this section. Each such
  manufacturer  and  wholesaler  is  hereby  required  to  file  with  the
  authority,  on  or  before each notification date, copies of the notices
  sent  by  him  or  her to all delinquent retail licensees as required in
  this subdivision, and in addition, if the authority shall so require,  a
  written  list  setting  forth  the  names  and  addresses  of  all  such
  delinquent licensees. The authority, in its discretion, may extend for a
  period not exceeding three days the date for giving  written  notice  of
  default  to  delinquent  retail  licensees and extend for three days the
  date for filing with the authority the copies of notices  sent  to  such
  licensees  and/or  the  written  list  of delinquent retail licensees as
  required in this subdivision. The  authority,  in  its  discretion,  may
  limit  the  documents to be filed to those relating to licensees who are
  to be added or deleted  from  the  default  list  and  direct  that  the
  manufacturer  or  wholesaler  maintain  copies  of  all  other documents
  required under this section for future inspection by the authority.  The
  authority  shall,  as  soon as practicable after each notification date,
  compile  and  publish  and  furnish  each  manufacturer  and  wholesaler
  licensed under this chapter a list, to be designated the delinquent list
  containing the names and addresses of all retail licensees who have been
  reported  by manufacturers and wholesalers pursuant to the provisions of
  this section or section one hundred one-aaa of this  article  as  having
  failed  to  make  payment  as  required  by  this  section for alcoholic
  beverages sold or  delivered  to  them,  and  no  such  manufacturer  or
  wholesaler,  on  or  after  the  fifth  day  after  the  receipt of such
  delinquent list, shall knowingly,  wilfully  or  intentionally  sell  or
  deliver  any alcoholic beverages to any such licensee whose name appears
  on such list, except for cash, until such  time  as  the  name  of  such
  licensee  is  removed  therefrom,  except  as hereinafter permitted. The
  receipt of a delinquent list  by  a  manufacturer  or  wholesaler  shall
  constitute  knowledge  of  the  names  of  the retail licensees who have
  failed to make payment for  alcoholic  beverages  as  required  by  this
  section.  The  failure  of any manufacturer or wholesaler to comply with
  the foregoing provisions of this section may, at the discretion  of  the
  authority,  subject  the  license  of such manufacturer or wholesaler to
  suspension for not more than five days for the first  offense,  and  not
  more  than  thirty  days  for  a  subsequent  offense. The authority may
  publish the delinquent list on its website; provided, however, that full
  access shall  be  restricted  to  those  manufacturers  and  wholesalers
  licensed under this chapter and access to their specific status shall be
  provided  to  retailers  licensed  under  this chapter. Such publication
  shall  be  considered  receipt  thereof   by   all   manufacturers   and
  wholesalers.
    4.  In the event that any dispute shall exist between any manufacturer
  or wholesaler and a retail licensee to whom he shall have sold alcoholic
  beverages, either as to the fact of payment or as to the amount due  for
  such  alcoholic  beverages  or  as  to  the  quantity  of  the alcoholic
  beverages sold or delivered, which dispute cannot  be  adjusted  between
  them, the authority is hereby authorized to receive statements from each
  of the parties to such dispute as to the facts and circumstances thereof
  and  to  determine  whether or not such retail licensee's name should be
  published on the appropriate delinquent list.
    5. The authority in the case of a retail  licensee  who  has  actually
  made  payment for alcoholic beverages, or on good cause shown to it, may
  permit sales or deliveries to  any  retail  licensee  who  has  received
  notice of default or who is named on any delinquent list, on terms other
  than  for cash, but within the limitations of this section, prior to the
  publication of the next appropriate delinquent list.
    6. The license  of  any  retail  licensee  who  purchases  or  accepts
  delivery  of alcoholic beverages on any terms, other than as provided in
  this section, may be suspended for not more than five days for the first
  offense and not more than thirty days  for  a  subsequent  offense.  The
  failure  of any such retail licensee to pay any amount in default before
  the  expiration  of  the  period  of  suspension  shall  be  deemed  and
  punishable  as  a  subsequent  offense  until  paid.  In  addition,  the
  authority may require any such retail licensee, after default in  making
  payment  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this section to make
  payment in cash for alcoholic beverages subsequently delivered.
    7.  a.  All  retail  licensees  who  fail  to  pay  manufacturers   or
  wholesalers  for  alcoholic  beverages  sold or delivered to such retail
  licensees  by  such  manufacturers  or  wholesalers  subsequent  to  the
  effective  date  of  this  section,  shall liquidate and pay such unpaid
  balances  to  such  manufacturers  or  wholesalers  in   equal   monthly
  installments over a period of three months from the date upon which such
  unpaid  balances  become due. The authority, shall not, however, because
  of such an indebtedness or failure to  pay  such  refuse  to  renew  the
  license of any such licensee.
    b.  All  retail  licensees shall, on or before October tenth, nineteen
  hundred  sixty-five,  make  payment  in  full   to   manufacturers   and
  wholesalers  of  all  unpaid  balances  for alcoholic beverages sold and
  delivered to such licensees during  the  month  of  September,  nineteen
  hundred  sixty-five. All retail licensees in groups two, three, four and
  one shall, on or before November  tenth,  nineteen  hundred  sixty-five,
  make  payment  in  full  to  manufacturers and wholesalers of all unpaid
  balances for alcoholic beverages  sold  and  delivered  between  October
  first  and  October  seventh, fourteenth, twenty-first and thirty-first,
  nineteen hundred sixty-five, respectively. The authority may impose  any
  penalty or condition otherwise authorized by this section in the case of
  any  such  retail  licensee  who  fails  or refuses to liquidate and pay
  unpaid balance becoming due under this subdivision.
    8.  Nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  construed  to  require  any
  manufacturer  or  wholesaler to extend credit to any retail licensee nor
  to restrain any manufacturer or wholesaler from seeking  to  enforce  by
  legal  action  or  otherwise, payment of any sum or sums of money due or
  alleged to be due to any such manufacturer or wholesaler  for  alcoholic
  beverages sold or delivered to any such retail licensee.
    9.  The  state  liquor authority is hereby authorized to do such acts,
  prescribe such forms and make such rules, regulations and orders  as  it
  may  deem necessary or proper fully to effectuate the provisions of this
  section, including but not limited to the changing of any date on  which
  any  act  or function pursuant to this section is to be performed by any
  licensee or by the liquor authority.
    10. For the purpose of raising the  moneys  necessary  to  defray  the
  expenses  incurred  in  the administration of this section, on or before
  the tenth day after this section becomes a law, there shall be  paid  to
  the  liquor authority by each manufacturer and wholesaler licensed under
  this chapter to sell to retailers liquor and/or wines  or  beer,  a  sum
  equivalent  to  ten  per  centum of the annual license fee prescribed by
  this chapter for each such licensee. A like sum shall be  paid  by  each
  person  hereafter  applying  for  any such license or the renewal of any
  such license, and such sum  shall  accompany  the  application  and  the
  license  fee  prescribed by this chapter for such license or renewal, as
  the case may be.

  check or other instrument described in  this  paragraph  tendered  by  a
  retail  licensee  on the delinquent list is not honored upon presentment
  for payment, the license of such retail licensee may  be  suspended  for
  not  more  than  fifteen  days  for the first offense, and not more than
  sixty days for a subsequent offense, which penalty shall be in  addition
  to the penalty provided for by the provisions of subdivision six of this
  section,  and  provided  further,  that  nothing  in  this section shall
  require a manufacturer or wholesaler to accept a check  tendered  by  or
  drawn  on the account of a retail licensee on the delinquent list unless
  the same has been certified.
    2. No manufacturer or wholesaler licensed  under  this  chapter  shall
  sell  or deliver any beer or wine products to any retail licensee except
  for cash to be paid at the  time  of  delivery  or  on  terms  requiring
  payment  by  such  retail  licensee for such beer or wine products on or
  before the final payment date of any credit period within which delivery
  is made.
    3. Each such manufacturer and  wholesaler  shall,  on  or  before  the
  respective  delinquent  notice  date, give written notice of default, by
  first class mail, to all such licensees who have failed to make  payment
  to  the manufacturer or wholesaler on or before their final payment date
  for beer or wine products sold or delivered to such licensees during the
  previous credit period. Any such retail licensee receiving  such  notice

  delinquent retail licensees, and in addition, if the authority shall  so
  require,  a  written  list  setting forth the names and addresses of all

  such licensee is removed therefrom, except  as  otherwise  permitted  by
  this  section.  The  receipt  of  a delinquent list by a manufacturer or
  wholesaler shall  constitute  knowledge  of  the  names  of  the  retail
  licensees  who  have failed to make payment for beer or wine products as
  required by this section. The failure of any manufacturer or  wholesaler
  to  comply with the provisions of this section may, at the discretion of
  the authority, subject the license of such manufacturer or wholesaler to
  suspension for not more than five days for the first  offense,  and  not
  more  than  thirty  days  for  a  subsequent  offense. The authority may

  or wholesaler and  a  retail  licensee  to  whom  such  manufacturer  or
  wholesaler  shall have sold beer or wine products, either as to the fact

  dispute cannot be adjusted between them, the authority is authorized  to
  receive  statements  from  each of the parties to such dispute as to the
  facts and circumstances thereof and to determine  whether  or  not  such
  retail licensee's name should be published on the delinquent list.
    5.  The  authority  in  the case of a retail licensee who has actually
  made payment for beer or wine products, or on good cause  shown  to  it,
  may  permit  sales or deliveries to any retial licensee who has received
  notice of default or who is named on any delinquent list, on terms other
  than for cash, but within the limitations of this section, prior to  the
  publication of the next delinquent list.
    6.  The  license  of  any  retail  licensee  who  purchases or accepts
  delivery of beer or wine products on any terms, other than  as  provided
  in  this  section,  may be suspended for not more than five days for the
  first offense and not more than thirty days for  a  subsequent  offense.
  The  failure  of  any  such retail licensee to pay any amount in default
  before the expiration of the period of suspension shall  be  deemed  and
  punishable  as  a  subsequent  offense  until  paid.  In  addition,  the
  authority may require any such retail licensee, after default in  making
  payment  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this section to make
  payment in cash for beer or wine products subsequently delivered.
    7. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to require any
  manufacturer or wholesaler to extend credit to any retail  licensee  nor
  to  restrain  any  manufacturer or wholesaler from seeking to enforce by
  legal action or otherwise, payment of any sum or sums of  money  due  or
  alleged  to  be  due  to any such manufacturer or wholesaler for beer or
  wine products sold or delivered to any such retail licensee.
    8. There shall be paid to the liquor authority by each person applying
  after the effective date of this section for any license to sell beer or
  wine  products  to  retailers or upon the renewal of such license, a sum
  equivalent to ten per centum of the annual  license  fee  prescribed  by
  this  chapter  for  each such licensee. Such moneys shall be used by the
  authority to defray the expenses incurred in the administration of  this
  section.
    9.  Notwithstanding  the  law  in  effect at the time of the sale, the
  final payment date for beer and/or  wine  products  sold  prior  to  the
  effective date of this section for which payment has not been made shall
  be  the first final payment date as determined by the provisions of this
  section.

   S 101-b.Unlawful  discriminations  prohibited;  filing  of schedules;
  schedule listing fund. 1. It is the declared policy of the state that it
  is  necessary  to  regulate  and  control  the  manufacture,  sale,  and
  distribution  within the state of alcoholic beverages for the purpose of
  fostering and promoting temperance in their consumption and respect  for
  and obedience to the law. In order to eliminate the undue stimulation of
  sales  of  alcoholic  beverages  and  the  practice of manufacturers and
  wholesalers in granting discounts, rebates, allowances, free goods,  and
  other   inducements   to  selected  licensees,  which  contribute  to  a
  disorderly  distribution  of  alcoholic   beverages,   and   which   are
  detrimental to the proper regulation of the liquor industry and contrary
  to  the  interests  of  temperance, it is hereby further declared as the
  policy of the state that the  sale  of  alcoholic  beverages  should  be
  subjected  to  certain  restrictions,  prohibitions and regulations. The
  necessity for the enactment  of  the  provisions  of  this  section  is,
  therefore, declared as a matter of legislative determination.
    2.  It  shall be unlawful for any person who sells liquors or wines to
  wholesalers or retailers
    (a) to discriminate, directly or indirectly, in  price,  in  discounts
  for  time  of  payment  or in discounts on quantity of merchandise sold,
  between one wholesaler and another wholesaler, or between  one  retailer
  and another retailer purchasing liquor or wine bearing the same brand or
  trade  name  and  of  like  age  and  quality; (b) to grant, directly or
  indirectly,  any  discount,  rebate,  free  goods,  allowance  or  other
  inducement  of  any  kind whatsoever, except a discount or discounts for
  quantity of liquor or for quantity of wine and a discount not in  excess
  of  one  per  centum  for  payment  on  or  before ten days from date of
  shipment.
    3. (a) No brand of liquor or wine shall be sold to or purchased  by  a
  wholesaler,  irrespective  of  the  place  of sale or delivery, unless a
  schedule, as provided by this section, is transmitted to and received by
  the liquor authority, and is then in  effect.  Such  schedule  shall  be
  transmitted  to the authority in such form, manner, medium and format as
  the authority may direct; shall be deemed duly verified  by  the  person
  submitting  such  schedule  upon  its transmission to the authority; and
  shall contain, with respect to each item, the exact brand or trade name,
  capacity of package, nature of contents, age and proof where  stated  on
  the  label, the number of bottles contained in each case, the bottle and
  case price to wholesalers, the net bottle and case  price  paid  by  the
  seller,  which  prices,  in  each instance, shall be individual for each
  item and not in "combination" with any other  item,  the  discounts  for
  quantity,  if  any,  and the discounts for time of payment, if any. Such
  brand of liquor or wine shall not be sold to wholesalers except  at  the
  price  and  discounts  then in effect unless prior written permission of
  the authority is granted for  good  cause  shown  and  for  reasons  not
  inconsistent  with  the  purpose of this chapter. Such schedule shall be
  transmitted by (1) the owner of such brand, or (2) a wholesaler  selling
  such brand and who is designated as agent for the purpose of filing such
  schedule  if the owner of the brand is not licensed by the authority, or
  (3) with the approval of the authority, by a wholesaler,  in  the  event
  that  the  owner  of  the  brand  is  unable  to  transmit a schedule or
  designate an agent for such purpose. As used  in  this  subdivision  the
  term  "item"  shall  be  deemed to include a sealed, pre-wrapped package
  consisting of a sealed container of liquor, wine  or  wine  product  and
  other  merchandise  reasonably  used in connection with the preparation,
  storage or service of liquor, wine or wine products provided  that  such
  other merchandise shall not be potable or edible.
    (b)  No  brand  of  liquor  or wine shall be sold to or purchased by a
  retailer unless a schedule, as provided by this section, is  transmitted
  to  and  received  by  the liquor authority, and is then in effect. Such
  schedule shall be transmitted to the authority  in  such  form,  manner,
  medium  and  format  as  the  authority may direct; shall be deemed duly
  verified by the person submitting such schedule upon its transmission to
  the authority; and shall contain, with respect to each item,  the  exact
  brand  or  trade  name, capacity of package, nature of contents, age and
  proof where stated on the label, the number of bottles contained in each
  case, the bottle and case price to retailers, the net  bottle  and  case
  price  paid  by  the  seller,  which  prices, in each instance, shall be
  individual for each item and not in "combination" with any  other  item,
  the  discounts  for  quantity,  if  any,  and  the discounts for time of
  payment, if any. Such brand of liquor or  wine  shall  not  be  sold  to
  retailers  except at the price and discounts then in effect unless prior
  written permission of the authority is granted for good cause shown  and
  for  reasons  not  inconsistent  with  the purpose of this chapter. Such
  schedule shall be transmitted by each manufacturer selling such brand to
  retailers and by each wholesaler selling such brand to retailers.
    (c) Provided however, nothing contained in this section shall  require
  any  manufacturer  or  wholesaler  to  list  in any schedule to be filed
  pursuant to this section any item offered for sale to a retailer under a
  brand which is owned exclusively by one  retailer  and  sold  at  retail
  within the state exclusively by such retailer.
    (d)  The  authority may make available the schedules in paragraphs (a)
  and (b) of  this  subdivision  to  all  licensed  wholesaler  or  retail
  establishments by way of controlled internet access.
    4.  Each  such schedule required by paragraph (a) of subdivision three
  of this section shall be filed on or before the twenty-fifth day of each
  month and the prices  and  discounts  set  forth  therein  shall  become
  effective  on  the first day of the second succeeding calendar month and
  shall be in effect for such second succeeding calendar month. Each  such
  schedule  required by paragraph (b) of subdivision three of this section
  shall be filed on or before the fifth day of each month, and the  prices
  and  discounts set forth therein shall become effective on the first day
  of the calendar month following the filing  thereof,  and  shall  be  in
  effect for such calendar month. Within ten days after the filing of such
  schedule  the authority shall make them or a composite thereof available
  for inspection by licensees.  Within  three  business  days  after  such
  inspection  is  provided  for, a wholesaler may amend his filed schedule
  for sales to retailers in order  to  meet  lower  competing  prices  and
  discounts  for  liquor  or  wine of the same brand or trade name, and of
  like age and quality, filed pursuant to this  section  by  any  licensee
  selling  such  brand,  provided  such  amended  prices are not lower and
  discounts are not greater than those to be met. Any amended schedule  so
  filed  shall  become  effective  on  the first day of the calendar month
  following the filing thereof and shall be in effect  for  such  calendar
  month.  All  schedules filed shall be subject to public inspection, from
  the time that they are required to be made available for  inspection  by
  licensees,  and  shall not be considered confidential. Each manufacturer
  and wholesaler shall retain in his licensed premises for  inspection  by
  licensees  a  copy  of his filed schedules as then in effect. The liquor
  authority may make such rules as shall be appropriate to carry  out  the
  purpose of this section.
    4-a.  No  licensee shall refuse to sell any brand of liquor or wine to
  any licensee authorized to purchase such brand of liquor  or  wine  from
  such  licensee  at  the  price  listed in the schedule of prices of such
  brand of liquor or wine required to be filed by such licensee  with  the
  authority  pursuant  to  this  section, provided the purchaser pays cash
  therefor, and except as herein provided.
    (a)  A  schedule  of prices to wholesalers filed by the brand owner or
  its agent with the authority, pursuant to this section,  may  limit  the
  distribution  or  resale  of a brand to wholesalers by the filing by the
  brand owner or its agent with the authority of the names, addresses  and
  license numbers of such wholesalers. Such list shall be filed each month
  together with the schedule of prices, and no name shall be added thereto
  or  removed  therefrom  after  filing  except  with  permission  of  the
  authority.
    (b) Only those wholesalers listed, pursuant to paragraph (a)  of  this
  subdivision,  may schedule the price to retailers for such brand, except
  that when not  inconsistent  with  the  purpose  of  this  section,  the
  authority  may  authorize any other wholesaler to schedule a price after
  furnishing the quantity, source of purchase and  any  other  information
  the authority may require.
    (c)  When  distribution  or  resale  of  a  brand has been restricted,
  pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdivision, such brand shall  not  be
  sold  or  purchased  by any wholesalers who are not listed in accordance
  with paragraph (a) of this subdivision.
    (d) For good  cause  shown  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  authority,
  permission  may  be  granted  for  the  filing of schedules limiting the
  distribution or resale of a brand to retailers.
    (e) Manufacturers and wholesalers may not require or compel  retailers
  to purchase other brands in order to be able to buy a particular brand.
    (f)  Nothing  contained  in  this  subdivision  shall  be construed as
  authority for permitting any conduct or activity by any brand  owner  or
  its  agent  or  any  wholesaler  of  liquor  or  wine  proscribed by the
  antitrust laws of this state or the United States.
    (g) If any provision of any  paragraph  of  this  subdivision  or  any
  subdivision  of this section or the application thereof to any person or
  circumstance  shall  be  adjudged  invalid  by  a  court  of   competent
  jurisdiction,  such order or judgment shall be confined in its operation
  to the controversy in which it was rendered  and  shall  not  affect  or
  invalidate  the  remainder  of  any provision of this subdivision or any
  subdivision of this section or the application of any  part  thereof  to
  any  other person or circumstance and to this end the provisions of each
  paragraph of this subdivision and each subdivision of this  section  are
  hereby declared to be severable.
    5.  (a)  (i)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision of law, each such
  schedule required by paragraph (a) of subdivision three of this  section
  which is filed by a micro-winery, winery, or farm winery, shall be filed
  annually  on  or before the twenty-fifth day of November. The prices and
  discounts set forth therein shall become effective on the first  day  of
  the second succeeding calendar month and shall remain in effect for such
  twelve  succeeding calendar months, unless a price change filing is made
  pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph.
    (ii) A micro-winery, winery, or farm winery licensee may file a  price
  schedule  change  at  any time between the required annual filings. Each
  such price schedule change shall be filed on or before the  twenty-fifth
  day  of  each  month  for  a change in prices to become effective on the
  first day of the second succeeding calendar month and  shall  remain  in
  effect until the effective date of the next filing.
    (b) (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, each such schedule
  required  by paragraph (b) of subdivision three of this section which is
  filed by a micro-winery, winery, or farm winery licensee shall be  filed
  annually  on  or  before  the  fifth  day  of  December.  The prices and
  discounts set forth therein shall become effective on the first  day  of
  the  calendar  month  following  the filing thereof, and shall remain in
  effect for such twelve succeeding calendar months, unless a price change
  filing is made pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph.
    (ii)  A micro-winery, winery, or farm winery licensee may file a price
  schedule change at any time between the required  annual  filings.  Each
  such  price schedule change shall be filed on or before the fifth day of
  each month for a change in prices to become effective on the  first  day
  of  the  calendar month following the filing thereof and shall remain in
  effect until the effective date of the next filing.
    (c) Within ten days after the filing of such schedules  the  authority
  shall  make  them  or  a  composite  thereof available for inspection by
  licensees. Within three business days after such inspection is  provided
  for, a wholesaler may amend his filed schedule for sales to retailers in
  order  to meet lower competing prices and discounts for wine of the same
  brand or trade name, and of like age and quality, filed pursuant to this
  section by any licensee selling such brand, provided such amended prices
  are not lower and discounts are not greater than those to  be  met.  Any
  amended schedule so filed shall become effective on the first day of the
  calendar month following the filing thereof and shall be in effect until
  the effective date of the next filing.
    (d)  All  schedules  filed shall be subject to public inspection, from
  the time that they are required to be made available for  inspection  by
  licensees,  and  shall not be considered confidential. Each manufacturer
  and wholesaler shall retain in his licensed premises for  inspection  by
  licensees  a  copy  of his filed schedules as then in effect. The liquor
  authority may make such rules as shall be appropriate to carry  out  the
  purpose of this subdivision.
    6.  For  the  purpose  of  raising  the moneys necessary to defray the
  expenses incurred in the administration of this section,  on  or  before
  the  tenth  day after this act becomes a law, there shall be paid to the
  liquor authority by each manufacturer and wholesaler licensed under this
  chapter to sell to retailers liquors and/or wines, a sum  equivalent  to
  fifteen  per centum of the annual license fee prescribed by this chapter
  for each such licensee.  A  like  sum  shall  be  paid  by  each  person
  hereafter  applying  for  any  such  license  or the renewal of any such
  license, and such sum shall accompany the application  and  the  license
  fee  prescribed  by this chapter for such license or renewal as the case
  may be. In the event that any other law requires the payment of a fee by
  any such licensee or applicant as set forth in this section for schedule
  listing, then and in such event the total fee imposed  by  this  section
  and such other law or laws on each such licensee shall not exceed in the
  aggregate  a  sum equivalent to fifteen per centum of the annual license
  fee prescribed by this chapter for such license.
    7. The authority may revoke, cancel  or  suspend  any  license  issued
  pursuant  to  this  chapter, and may recover (as provided in section one
  hundred twelve of this chapter) the penal sum of the  bond  filed  by  a
  licensee,  or  both, for any sale or purchase in violation of any of the
  provisions of this section or  for  making  a  false  statement  in  any
  schedule  filed  pursuant  to this section or for failing or refusing in
  any manner to comply with any of the provisions of this section.

   S 102.General   prohibitions  and  restrictions.  1.  (a)  Except  as
  provided  in  section  seventy-nine-c  of  this  chapter,  no  alcoholic
  beverages  shall  be  shipped  into  the  state unless the same shall be
  consigned to a person duly licensed hereunder to  traffic  in  alcoholic
  beverages.  This  prohibition  shall apply to all shipments of alcoholic
  beverages into New York state and includes importation  or  distribution
  for   commercial   purposes,   for   personal  use,  or  otherwise,  and
  irrespective of whether such alcoholic beverages were  purchased  within
  or  without  the  state,  provided,  however, this prohibition shall not
  apply to  any  shipment  consigned  to  a  New  York  resident  who  has
  personally  purchased  alcoholic  beverages  for  his personal use while
  outside  the  United  States  for  a  minimum  period   of   forty-eight
  consecutive  hours  and  which he has shipped as consignor to himself as
  consignee. Purchases made outside the United  States  by  persons  other
  than  the purchaser himself, regardless whether made as his agent, or by
  his authorization or  on  his  behalf,  are  deemed  not  to  have  been
  personally purchased within the meaning of this paragraph.
    (b)  Except  as provided in section seventy-nine-c of this chapter, no
  common carrier or other person shall bring or carry into the  state  any
  alcoholic beverages, unless the same shall be consigned to a person duly
  licensed hereunder to traffic in alcoholic beverages, provided, however,
  that alcoholic beverages may be delivered by a trucking permittee from a
  steamship or railroad station or terminal to a New York resident who has
  personally  purchased  alcoholic  beverages  for  his personal use while
  outside  the  United  States  for  a  minimum  period   of   forty-eight
  consecutive  hours,  and which he has shipped as consignor to himself as
  consignee, and except as so stated, no trucking permittee  shall  accept
  for  delivery, deliver or transport from a steamship or railroad station
  or  terminal  any  shipment  of  alcoholic  beverages  consigned  to   a
  non-licensed  person  having  his  home  or  business in New York state.
  Purchases of alcoholic beverages  made  outside  the  United  States  by
  persons other than the purchaser himself, regardless whether made as his
  agent,  or by his authorization or on his behalf, are deemed not to have
  been personally purchased within the meaning of this paragraph.
    (c) Paragraphs  (a)  and  (b)  of  this  subdivision  shall  apply  to
  alcoholic  beverages,  either  in  the  original  package  or otherwise,
  whether intended for commercial or personal use, as well  as  otherwise,
  and  to  foreign,  interstate,  as  well  as  intrastate,  shipments  or
  carriage,  irrespective  of  whether  such  alcoholic   beverages   were
  purchased within or without the state.
    (d)  Nothing  in  this chapter shall be deemed to exempt from taxation
  the sale or use of any alcoholic beverages subject to  any  tax  imposed
  under  or pursuant to the authority of the tax law or to grant any other
  exemption from the provisions of such law.
    2. No person holding any license hereunder, other than  a  license  to
  sell  an  alcoholic beverage at retail for off-premises consumption or a
  license or special license to sell an alcoholic beverage at  retail  for
  consumption  on  the  premises where such license authorizes the sale of
  liquor, beer and/or wine on the premises of  a  catering  establishment,
  hotel,  restaurant,  club,  or  recreational  facility,  shall knowingly
  employ in connection with his business in any capacity  whatsoever,  any
  person,  who  has  been  convicted  of a felony, or any of the following
  offenses,  who  has  not  subsequent  to  such  conviction  received  an
  executive  pardon  therefor  removing  any  civil  disabilities incurred
  thereby, a certificate of relief from disabilities or a  certificate  of
  good  conduct pursuant to article twenty-three of the correction law, or
  other relief from disabilities provided by law, or the written  approval
  of the state liquor authority permitting such employment, to wit:
    (a)  Illegally  using,  carrying  or  possessing  a  pistol  or  other
  dangerous weapon;
    (b) Making or possessing burglar's instruments;
    (c) Buying or receiving or criminally possessing stolen property;
    (d) Unlawful entry of a building;
    (e) Aiding escape from prison;
    (f)  Unlawfully  possessing  or  distributing  habit  forming narcotic
  drugs;
    (g) Violating subdivisions six, ten or eleven of section seven hundred
  twenty-two of the former penal law as in force  and  effect  immediately
  prior  to  September  first,  nineteen hundred sixty-seven, or violating
  sections 165.25 or 165.30 of the penal law;
    (h) Vagrancy or prostitution; or
    (i) Ownership, operation, possession, custody or control  of  a  still
  subsequent to July first, nineteen hundred fifty-four.
    If,  as  hereinabove  provided,  the state liquor authority issues its
  written approval for the  employment  by  a  licensee,  in  a  specified
  capacity,  of  a  person  previously convicted of a felony or any of the
  offenses above enumerated, such person, may, unless he  is  subsequently
  convicted of a felony or any of such offenses, thereafter be employed in
  the  same  capacity  by  any  other licensee without the further written
  approval of the  authority  unless  the  prior  approval  given  by  the
  authority is terminated.
    The  liquor  authority  may  make  such rules as it deems necessary to
  carry out the purpose and intent of this subdivision.
    As used in this subdivision, "recreational facility" shall  mean:  (i)
  premises  that  are  part  of a facility the principal business of which
  shall be the providing of  recreation  in  the  form  of  golf,  tennis,
  swimming,  skiing  or  boating; and (ii) premises in which the principal
  business shall be the operation of a theatre, concert hall, opera house,
  bowling   establishment,   excursion   and   sightseeing   vessel,    or
  accommodation of athletic events, sporting events, expositions and other
  similar  events  or  occasions  requiring  the  accommodation  of  large
  gatherings of persons.
    3-a. No licensee or permittee shall purchase or agree to purchase  any
  alcoholic  beverages  from  any  person within the state who is not duly
  licensed to sell such alcoholic beverage as the case may be, at the time
  of such agreement and sale nor give any order for any alcoholic beverage
  to any individual who is not the holder of a solicitor's permit,  except
  as provided for in section eighty-five or ninety-nine-g of this chapter.
    3-b.  No  retail licensee shall purchase, agree to purchase or receive
  any alcoholic beverage except from a person  duly  licensed  within  the
  state  by  the  liquor  authority to sell such alcoholic beverage at the
  time of such agreement and sale  to  such  retail  licensee,  except  as
  provided for in section eighty-five or ninety-nine-g of this chapter.
    4.  No  licensee  or  any  of his or its agents, servants or employees
  shall peddle any liquor and/or wine from house to house by  means  of  a
  truck  or  otherwise,  where  the  sale is consummated and delivery made
  concurrently at the residence or place of business of a  consumer.  This
  subdivision  shall not prohibit the delivery by a licensee to consumers,
  pursuant to sales made at the place of business of said licensee.
    5. No licensee shall employ any canvasser or solicitor for the purpose
  of receiving an order from a consumer for any liquor and/or wine at  the
  residence  or place of business of such consumer, nor shall any licensee
  receive or accept any order, for the sale of  any  liquor  and/or  wine,
  which  shall  be  solicited  at  the residence or place of business of a
  consumer. This subdivision shall not  prohibit  the  solicitation  by  a
  wholesaler  of  an  order  from any licensee at the licensed premises of
  such licensee.
    6.  No  alcoholic  beverage  shall  be  released for delivery from any
  warehouse located within the state, except upon a  permit  having  first
  been obtained as provided by this chapter. Applications for such permits
  may  be  filed at the office of the liquor authority in New York, Albany
  or Buffalo, whichever is nearest to the location of the  warehouse,  and
  shall  be  upon  a  form  to  be  prepared by the liquor authority. This
  provision shall not apply  to  alcoholic  beverages,  which  are  to  be
  released for shipment outside of the state.
    7.  Each  person  owning or operating any warehouse located within the
  state shall keep and maintain as part of his permanent records, treasury
  department forms fifty-two and fifty-two-a as heretofore required by the
  United States government.

 S 103.Provisions  governing  manufacturers.  1. No manufacturer shall
  sell, or agree to sell or deliver in the state any liquors and/or wines,
  as the case may  be,  in  any  cask,  barrel,  keg,  hogshead  or  other
  container,   except   in  sealed  containers  containing  quantities  in
  accordance with federal size standards adopted pursuant to  the  federal
  alcohol  administration  act,  as  amended (27 U.S.C. 201 et. seq.); and
  provided further, that (a) Class A distillers may sell or deliver liquor

  beverage use; (b) Class C distillers may sell or deliver fruit brandy in
  bulk to the  holder  of  a  winery  license,  a  holder  of  a  Class  B

  sell or deliver wine in bulk to a holder of a winery license, the holder
  of a distiller's license of any class, or to a permittee engaged in  the
  manufacture   of  products  which  are  unfit  for  beverage  use.  Such
  containers shall have affixed thereto such labels as may be required  by
  the  rules  of the liquor authority, together with all necessary federal
  revenue and New York state excise tax stamps, as required by law.
    2. No manufacturer shall transport alcoholic beverages in any  vehicle
  owned  and  operated  or hired and operated by such manufacturer, unless
  there shall be attached to or inscribed upon both sides of such  vehicle
  a  sign, showing the name and address of the licensee, together with the
  following inscription: "New York State Distiller (or Brewer  or  Winery)
  License  No.  ..,"  in  uniform letters not less than three and one-half
  inches in height. In lieu of such sign a manufacturer may  have  in  the
  cab  of such vehicle a photostatic copy of its current license issued by
  the authority, and such copy duly authenticated by the authority.
    3. No manufacturer shall deliver any alcoholic  beverages,  except  in
  vehicles  owned and operated by such manufacturer, or hired and operated
  by  such  manufacturer  from  a  trucking  or   transportation   company
  registered  with the liquor authority, and shall only make deliveries at
  the licensed premises of the purchaser.
    7. Each  manufacturer  shall  keep  and  maintain  upon  the  licensed
  premises,  adequate  books and records of all transactions involving the
  manufacture and sale of his  or  its  products,  which  shall  show  the
  ingredients  but  not  the  formula or recipe used in the manufacture of
  such  alcoholic  beverages  together  with  the  quantity  of  alcoholic
  beverages  manufactured  by such manufacturer; the names, addresses, and
  the license numbers of  the  purchasers  of  such  alcoholic  beverages,
  together  with  the  quantities  involved in such purchases, whether the
  same shall be sold within or without  the  state.  Each  sale  shall  be

  wholesaler, with the approval of the authority, in the  event  that  the
  owner  of  the  brand or trade name is a retailer who does not file such
  application, provided that the retailer shall consent to such filing  by
  such  wholesaler. Such retailer may revoke his consent at any time, upon
  written notice to the authority and to such wholesaler.

    6. Such notification shall be made by: certified mail, return  receipt
  requested; overnight delivery service with proof of mailing; or personal
  service upon the offices of the clerk or community board.

  S 111.License  to be confined to premises licensed.  A license issued
  to any person, pursuant to chapter one hundred eighty  of  the  laws  of
  nineteen hundred thirty-three or this chapter, for any licensed premises
  shall  not  be transferable to any other person or to any other premises
  or to any other part of the building containing  the  licensed  premises
  except in the discretion of the authority. It shall be available only to
  the  person therein specified, and only for the premises licensed and no
  other except if authorized by the authority.   Provided,  however,  that
  the  provisions  of  this  section  shall  not be deemed to prohibit the
  issuance of a license under section seventy-six-b  or  seventy-six-c  of
  this  chapter.  For  the  purposes of this section each railroad car and
  each vessel shall be deemed premises separately to be licensed.

   S 112.Bonds  of  licensees  and  permittees. The liquor authority may
  require the licensees and permittees of one or  more  of  the  kinds  or
  classes  described  in this chapter to file with it a bond to the people
  of the state of New York issued by a surety  company,  approved  by  the
  superintendent  of  financial services as to solvency and responsibility
  and authorized to transact business in this state, in such penal sum  as
  the  liquor  authority may heretofore have prescribed or hereafter shall
  prescribe, conditioned that such licensee or permittee will  not  suffer
  or  permit  any violation of the provisions of this chapter and that all
  fines and penalties which shall accrue, during the time the  license  or
  permit  shall  be in effect, will be paid, together with all costs taxed
  or allowed in any action or  proceeding  brought  or  instituted  for  a
  violation of any of the provisions of this chapter. A suit to recover on
  any  bond  filed  pursuant  to chapter one hundred eighty of the laws of
  nineteen hundred thirty-three or this chapter  may  be  brought  by  the
  liquor  authority  or  on relation of any party aggrieved, in a court of
  competent jurisdiction and in the event that the obligor named  in  such
  bond  has  violated any of the conditions of such bond, recovery for the
  penal sum of such bond may be had in favor of the people of the state.

  S 113.Premises  for  which  no license shall be granted. 1. Where a
  license for any premises licensed has been revoked, the liquor authority
  in its discretion may refuse to issue a license under this chapter,  for
  a  period of two years after such revocation, for such licensed premises
  or for any part of the building containing such  licensed  premises  and
  connected therewith.
    2.  In  determining  whether to issue such a license for such two year
  period, in addition to any other factors  deemed  relevant,  the  liquor
  authority  shall,  in  the  case of a license revoked due to the illegal
  sale of alcohol to a minor, determine whether  the  proposed  subsequent
  licensee has obtained such premises through an arm's length transaction,
  and, if such transaction is not found to be an arm's length transaction,
  the liquor authority shall deny the issuance of such license.
    3. For purposes of this section, "arm's length transaction" shall mean
  a  sale  of  a  fee  of all undivided interests in real property, lease,
  management agreement, or other agreement giving  the  applicant  control
  over  the food and beverage at the premises, or any part thereof, in the
  open market, between an informed and  willing  buyer  and  seller  where
  neither  is  under  any  compulsion  to  participate in the transaction,
  unaffected by any unusual conditions indicating a reasonable possibility
  that the sale was made  for  the  purpose  of  permitting  the  original
  licensee  to  avoid  the  effect  of the revocation. The following sales
  shall be presumed not to be arm's length  transactions  unless  adequate
  documentation is provided demonstrating that the sale, lease, management
  agreement, or other agreement giving the applicant control over the food
  and  beverage  at  the premises, was not conducted, in whole or in part,
  for the purpose of permitting the original licensee to avoid the  effect
  of the revocation:
    (a) a sale between relatives;
    (b) a sale between related companies or partners in a business; or
    (c) a sale, lease, management agreement, or other agreement giving the
  applicant  control  over the food and beverage at the premises, affected
  by other facts or circumstances  that  would  indicate  that  the  sale,
  lease,  management  agreement,  or  other agreement giving the applicant
  control over the food and beverage at the premises, is entered into  for
  the  primary  purpose  of  permitting the original licensee to avoid the
  effect of the revocation.

  S 114.Licenses,  publication,  general  provisions.   1. All licenses
  issued pursuant to this chapter shall be distinctive in color and design
  so as to be readily distinguishable from each other.
    2.  No  license  shall  be  transferable  or  assignable  except  that
  notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  law,  the  license of a sole
  proprietor converting to corporate form, where such  proprietor  becomes
  the  sole  stockholder  and  only  officer  and  director  of  such  new
  corporation, may be  transferred  to  the  subject  corporation  if  all
  requirements  of  this  chapter  remain  the  same  with respect to such
  license as transferred and, further, the licensee shall transmit to  the
  authority,  within  ten  days of the transfer of license allowable under
  this subdivision, on a form prescribed by the authority, notification of
  the transfer of such license.
    3. No license shall be pledged or deposited as collateral security for
  any loan or upon any other condition; and any such  pledge  or  deposit,
  and any contract providing therefor, shall be void.
    4.  Licenses  issued  under this chapter shall contain, in addition to
  any further information or material to be prescribed by the rules of the
  liquor authority, the following information: (a) Name of person to  whom
  license  is  issued;  (b)  kind  of  license and what kind of traffic in
  alcoholic beverages is thereby permitted; (c) description by street  and
  number, or otherwise, of licensed premises; (d) a statement in substance
  that  such  license  shall not be deemed a property or vested right, and
  that it may be revoked at any time pursuant to law.
    5. There shall be printed and furnished by  the  liquor  authority  to
  each  licensee  a  statement  of  the  causes  for which licenses may be
  revoked. Such statement shall be prepared by the  liquor  authority  and
  delivered  to the licensee with his license or as soon thereafter as may
  be practicable. Any amendments thereto shall also be sent by the  liquor
  authority  to  all  licensees  as  soon as may be practicable after such
  amendments. Failure to send  such  statements  or  changes  therein,  or
  failure  to  receive the same, or any misstatement or error contained in
  such statements or amendments  shall,  however,  not  be  an  excuse  or
  justification  for  any  violation  of  law,  or  prevent,  or remit, or
  decrease any penalty or forfeiture therefor.
    6. Before commencing or doing any business for the time  for  which  a
  license  has  been  issued  said license shall be enclosed in a suitable
  wood or metal frame having a clear glass space and a substantial wood or
  metal back so that the whole of said license may be  seen  therein,  and
  shall  be posted up and at all times displayed in a conspicuous place in
  the room where such business is carried on, so that all persons visiting
  such place may readily see the same. It shall be unlawful for any person
  holding a license to post such license or to permit such license  to  be
  posted  upon premises other than the premises licensed, or upon premises
  where traffic in alcoholic beverages is being carried on by  any  person
  other  than  the  licensee, or knowingly to deface, destroy or alter any
  such license in any  respect.  Whenever  a  license  shall  be  lost  or
  destroyed  without  fault  on  the part of the licensee or his agents or
  employees, a duplicate license in lieu thereof  may  be  issued  by  the
  liquor authority in its discretion and in accordance with such rules and
  regulations and the payment of such fees, not exceeding five dollars, as
  it may prescribe.

  S 114-a.License  or  permit  issuance and registration approval.   No
  license or permit shall be issued and no registration approved  pursuant
  to  this  chapter  until  such  time as any check or draft submitted for
  payment of the required fee has been  honored  by  the  payor  financial
  institution,  provided,  however, that this provision shall not apply in
  the case of a certified check, bank officers' check or money order.

  S 115.Rules need not be uniform.  Whenever in this chapter the liquor
  authority  is  authorized  to  adopt  rules  in  respect to a particular
  subject or matter, such rules need not be uniform in  their  application
  to the various localities within the jurisdiction of such authority, but
  may  vary  in  accordance  with  a  reasonable  classification  of  such
  localities.
