Authorizes the issuance of a low potency cannabis beverage retail permit to licensed off-premises liquor and wine stores to allow the regulated sale of low potency cannabis single use beverages that contain no more than 5mg of THC manufactured by New York state adult-use licensees; provides for the allocation of low potency cannabis beverage tax revenue in the New York state cannabis revenue fund.

New York Senate Bill S09220, introduced by Senator Jeremy Cooney, aimed to allow licensed off-premises liquor and wine stores to sell single-use cannabis beverages containing no more than 5mg of THC. These beverages would be produced by New York State adult-use licensees. The bill also proposed that tax revenue from these sales be allocated to the New York State cannabis revenue fund. However, the bill was introduced on February 17, 2026, and as of April 16, 2026, it was amended and recommitted to the Senate Investigations and Government Operations Committee, with no further progress reported.

While specific media coverage on S09220 is limited, proponents of similar legislation argue that allowing the sale of low-potency cannabis beverages in liquor and wine stores could provide consumers with safe, regulated options and generate additional tax revenue for the state.

Critics of such measures often express concerns about the potential normalization of cannabis use, the risk of increased consumption among minors, and the challenges of regulating THC-infused products alongside alcoholic beverages.
