N.Y. Alcoholic Beverage Control Law § 93: Solicitor's permit

§ 93. Solicitor's permit. 1. No individual shall offer for sale or

solicit any order in the state for the sale of any alcoholic beverage

irrespective of whether such sale is to be made within or without the

state, unless such person shall have a solicitor's permit. Provided,

however, that no permit under this section shall be required for an

individual who is soliciting orders on behalf of a micro-brewery, farm

brewery, farm cidery, farm winery, micro-farm winery, micro-distillery,

micro-rectifier, or farm distillery licensed under this chapter.

2. Such a permit shall authorize the permittee to offer for sale or to

solicit orders for the sale of any alcoholic beverages, and shall set

forth the name, address and license number of the licensee whom the

solicitor represents, and such solicitor shall not represent any

licensee whose name does not appear upon such permit.

3. The license fee for such permit shall be twenty-six dollars per

year, or for any part thereof, and the permit shall be issued for the

calendar year.

4. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, any duly

licensed manufacturer or wholesaler may apply to the liquor authority

for an annual temporary solicitor's employment permit. Such permit shall

authorize such manufacturer or wholesaler to employ one or more persons

as a solicitor for a period of not exceeding six months provided that

within sixty days after such employee has been employed as a solicitor

such employee shall file his application for a solicitor's permit with

the liquor authority. The license fee for such permit shall be

thirty-eight dollars per year, or for any part thereof, and the permit

shall be issued for the calendar year. Such permit and the exercise of

the privileges hereby granted thereunder, shall be subject to such terms

and conditions as may be prescribed by the liquor authority.

5. Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to the contrary, a

licensed winery or licensed farm winery may obtain from the liquor

authority a solicitor's permit authorizing the licensee to offer for

sale or solicit any order for any New York state labelled wine. The

authority shall not charge an application or permit fee for the issuance

of a solicitor's permit to a licensed winery or farm winery.
