Bill > S06416

This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to create a specific exception to the existing rule prohibiting liquor licenses for establishments located within 200 feet of a school, church, or place of worship. The bill allows the state liquor authority to issue a retail license for on-premises consumption at a specific location in the City of Middletown, Orange County, despite its proximity to such institutions. The proposed location is precisely described through a detailed land parcel description that includes exact property boundaries, measurements, and directional courses. This means a particular food or beverage retail establishment will be granted a special liquor license that would not typically be permitted under standard zoning and alcohol licensing regulations. The bill provides an extremely specific geographic allowance, suggesting it is tailored to support a particular local business or development project in Middletown. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage.
