Establishes license density caps preventing new licenses in counties with one or more active seven day licenses per 3,000 adult residents over age 21, except for renewals, pre-effective date applications, and asset transfers of existing licensees.

Authorizes the Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority to auction additional seven day licenses in counties exceeding the density threshold, provided the auctions do not reduce the ratio below one license per 3,000 adult residents.

Creates the New York Distilled Spirits and Wine Industry Marketing Fund in the state comptroller's office, funded by 25 percent of annual off-premises retail liquor license fees, for marketing and promotional campaigns for New York-produced spirits and wine approved by the Economic Development Commissioner.

Requires annual reporting to the legislature on fund revenues and expenditures by February 1st each year and mandates that fund moneys be expended within the fiscal year they are received.
