        S. 4661                             2
     1  Such  a license shall contain a description of the licensed premises and
     2  in form and in substance shall  be  a  license  to  the  person  therein

     9  hundred sixty, and thereafter renewed or  transferred,  shall  authorize
    10  the holder thereof to sell beer at retail to a person for consumption in

    14  to sell beer at retail to a person for consumption in his home.

    19  beer  as  a  vendor. Such application shall be in writing, and verified,
    20  and shall  contain  such  information  as  the  liquor  authority  shall
    21  require.  Such  application shall be accompanied by a check or draft for
    22  the amount required by this article for  such  license.  If  the  liquor
    23  authority  shall  grant the application it shall issue a license in such
    24  form as shall be determined by its rules. Such a license shall contain a
    25  description of the licensed premises and in form and in substance  shall
    26  be  a license to the person therein specifically designated to sell beer
    27  as a vendor in cities having a population of one million or  more  only,
    28  from  the  premises  therein specifically licensed. Such a license shall
    29  also contain the certificate of authority  number.  A  vendor's  license
    30  shall  authorize  the holder thereof to sell beer at retail to be deliv-
    31  ered by such vendor to a person for consumption in his  home  and  shall

    42    § 5. Subdivision 3 of section 54-a of the alcoholic  beverage  control
    43  law,  as added by chapter 235 of the laws of 1987, is amended to read as
    44  follows:
    45    3. Such license shall contain a description of the  licensed  premises
    46  and  in  form  and in substance shall be a license to the person specif-
    47  ically designated therein to sell beer and wine products  at  retail  in
    48  the  premises  specifically licensed, not to be consumed upon said prem-
    49  ises. Such a license shall also contain  the  certificate  of  authority
    50  number.

    52  is amended to read as follows:

    54  and  in  form  and in substance shall be a license to the person therein
    55  specifically designated to sell beer in  the  premises  therein  specif-
    56  ically  licensed,  at  retail,  to be consumed upon such premises.  Such

        S. 4661                             3
     1  license shall also include the privilege of selling beer at retail to be
     2  consumed off the premises. Such a license shall also contain the certif-
     3  icate of authority number.
