Bill > A07578

This bill amends the alcoholic beverage control law to allow the New York State Liquor Authority to issue a retail license for on-premises alcohol consumption at a specific location in Middletown, Orange County, even though the premises is within 200 feet of a school, church, or other place of worship. The bill provides an extremely detailed legal description of the exact parcel of land (Lot No. 10 on a map filed in 1896) where this special liquor license can be issued, which appears to be located on North Street. Typically, liquor licenses are not granted to establishments near religious or educational institutions due to zoning and community standards, but this bill creates a specific exception for this particular property. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the property owner to potentially apply for this specialized liquor license that would normally be prohibited by standard local regulations.
