New York Senate Tightens License Powers for SLA
ALBANY The New York Senate approved a measure to curb the State Liquor Authoritys power to issue or transfer package store licenses. The bill requires licenses to be granted or denied based on public service. The move reverses last years liberalizing reforms while the SLA also lifted a 16 year moratorium on new licenses. The debate featured strong criticism from both parties and tied to a broader Rockefeller administration push toward freer markets amid past corruption scandals.
