2006 New York Code - 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.
