Bill > S00724

This bill mandates that all accessible (ADA or handicapped) parking spaces at stadiums, arenas, ballparks, entertainment, and sports venues must strictly adhere to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, specifically ensuring that these spaces are located on the shortest accessible route to the venue's entrance and are offered at the lowest parking price. The legislation requires venues to comply with these parking space provisions within 30 days of the bill's effective date, and imposes significant penalties for non-compliance: any venue that fails to meet these accessibility standards will automatically have its New York state liquor license suspended for 30 days, with an additional one-week suspension for each day the venue remains non-compliant. During periods of non-compliance, no liquor can be sold at the venue. The bill aims to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities by ensuring convenient and affordable parking at entertainment and sports venues, with meaningful consequences for venues that do not meet ADA parking requirements.
