          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  any on-premises licensee and any manufacturing licensee with on-premises
     3  retail privileges that are licensed pursuant to the  alcoholic  beverage
     4  control  law shall receive a credit to the next renewal of their license
     5  on a pro-rata basis for each inactive day, up to  a  maximum  of  ninety
     6  days.  An  inactive  day  shall mean each day between March 15, 2020 and
     7  December 31, 2020 that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic or  the  government

     9  on-premises retail business functions that require a license  under  the
    10  alcoholic  beverage  control law. The on-premises licensee and any manu-
    11  facturing licensee with on-premises retail privileges shall document  to
    12  the  state  liquor  authority,  on a form provided by the authority, the
    13  number of inactive days, up to a maximum of ninety days, that  they  are
    14  claiming  for  a  credit  to  be  added  to their next retail on-premise
    15  license renewal.
    16    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall  expire  and  be
    17  deemed repealed January 1, 2023.
