Bill > S07326

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 for on-premises consumption within 200 feet of a church or place of worship, which would normally be prohibited. 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, including its precise measurements and an associated easement. Specifically, the legislation allows the state liquor authority to issue a retail license for food and beverage service on this specific premises, despite its proximity to a religious institution. The bill appears to be a targeted local amendment that would enable a specific business or property owner to obtain a liquor license that would otherwise be restricted by existing distance regulations. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage.
