Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to an exemption for certain property from the prohibition of alcohol sales within a certain distance from a church
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to create a specific exemption for a particular property located in Rochester, Monroe County, allowing the sale of alcohol on-premises within 200 feet of a church or place of worship. The bill provides a detailed legal description of the exact parcel of land (Lot #7 of the Willian Horcheler Subdivision, located at the southwest corner of South Avenue and Gregory Street) where this exemption applies. Normally, state law prohibits alcohol sales within 200 feet of a church or school, but this bill creates a localized exception for this specific Rochester property, enabling the establishment to obtain a retail license for on-premises food and beverage consumption. The legislation is narrowly tailored to this one location and will take effect immediately upon passage, demonstrating a precise, site-specific approach to modifying alcohol licensing restrictions.
