N.Y. Alcoholic Beverage Control Law § 54: License to sell beer at retail for consumption off the premises

§ 54. License to sell beer at retail for consumption off the premises.

1. Any person may apply to the appropriate board for a license to sell

beer at retail not to be consumed upon the premises where sold. Such

application shall be in writing and verified and shall contain such

information as the liquor authority shall require. Such application

shall be accompanied by a check or draft for the amount required by this

article for such license. The term "premises" shall include any duly

licensed supply ship operating in harbors in Lake Erie.

2. In the event that the liquor authority issues such license it shall

forward the same to the applicant.

3. If the authority shall disapprove an application for a license or

permit, it shall state and file in its offices the reasons therefor and

shall notify the applicant thereof. Such applicant may thereupon apply

to the liquor authority for a review of such action in a manner to be

prescribed by the rules of the liquor authority. A hearing upon notice

to the applicant shall thereupon be held by the liquor authority or by

one of its members at its office most conveniently situated to the

office of its duly authorized representative in a manner to be

prescribed in its rules; and on such hearing proof may be taken by oral

testimony or by affidavit relative thereto. After such hearing, if the

liquor authority confirms such disapproval, it shall endorse such

application accordingly and shall send notice to the applicant of its

action in such form as the liquor authority may prescribe. If the liquor

authority does not confirm the disapproval action it may grant such

application and issue such license.

4. No such license shall be issued, however, to any person for any

premises other than a grocery store, drug store, or duly licensed supply

ship operating in harbors in Lake Erie.

5. Such license shall contain a description of the licensed premises

and in form and in substance shall be a license to the person

specifically designated therein to sell beer at retail in the premises

specifically licensed, not to be consumed upon said premises.
