Bill > A06952

This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to create a specific exemption to the standard prohibition on alcohol sales within 200 feet of a church. The exemption applies to a precisely defined property located in the City of Hudson, Columbia County, allowing a retail license for on-premises food and beverage consumption despite its proximity to a place of worship. The bill provides an extremely detailed legal description of the property, specifying its exact boundaries using geographic coordinates and measurements, which appear to be bounded by Warren Street, Fourth Street, and Prison Alley. By creating this narrow, location-specific exemption, the bill allows a specific business establishment to obtain a liquor license that would otherwise be prohibited under existing state regulations. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, providing an immediate regulatory change for the specified property in Hudson, New York.
