Bill > S06417

This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to create a specific exception to the existing rule that prohibits issuing liquor licenses for premises located within 200 feet of a school, church, or place of worship. The bill allows the state alcohol authority to issue a retail on-premises consumption license for a specific piece of property located in the City of Middletown, Orange County, New York. The property is precisely described using a detailed land survey description referencing Lot No. 10 on a map filed in 1896, and is bounded by North Street and specific neighboring properties. By creating this targeted exception, the bill enables a food or beverage establishment at this specific location to obtain a liquor license despite its proximity to potentially sensitive institutions like churches or schools. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, which means the new licensing provision would be in place as soon as the bill is signed into law.
