 AN ACT to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to
 membership warehouse stores

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 20-a of section 3 of the alcoholic beverage
 2 control law is renumbered subdivision 20-h and a new subdivision 20-a is
 3 added to read as follows:
 4 20-a. "Membership warehouse retailer" means and includes any store
 5 primarily engaged in the retail sale of a general line of groceries,
 6 which may include apparel, furniture and appliances which limits access
 7 to members of the club including businesses and individuals who are
 8 subject to pay a fee or premium to shop in the club.
 9 § 2. Section 100 of the alcoholic beverage control law is amended by
 10 adding a new subdivision 2-c to read as follows:
 11 2-c. (a) No membership warehouse retailer shall sell, or knowingly
 12 agree to sell, or sell by omission, any alcoholic beverage to a retailer
 13 who presents a corporate or business, debit, credit, or membership card
 14 bearing the name of a retailer at the point of sale. The first violation
 15 of this subdivision shall result in a written notice of violation and
 16 warning from the liquor authority. A second violation of this subdivi-
 17 sion shall result in a suspension and imposition of a civil penalty
 18 pursuant to section one hundred eighteen of this article. A third
 19 violation of this subdivision shall result in a revocation, or cancella-
 20 tion of a license to sell alcoholic beverages pursuant to section one
 21 hundred eighteen of this article.
 22 (b) The acceptance by a membership warehouse retailer of a corporate
 23 or business, debit, credit, or membership card that has sufficient indi-
 24 cia of an association with a retailer is a willful intent to violate the
 25 law within this subdivision.
 26 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
