Bill > A08199

This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to create a specific exemption to the typical prohibition on selling alcohol within 200 feet of a church, specifically for a precisely described parcel of land located in the Village of Phelps, Town of Phelps, in Ontario County. The exemption allows for a retail license to be issued for on-premises consumption of food and beverages at a specific location, despite its proximity to a place of worship. The bill provides an extremely detailed legal description of the exact property boundaries, referencing specific land records, survey maps, and geographical coordinates to precisely define the parcel where this alcohol licensing exception will apply. The legislation appears to be a highly localized amendment that creates a narrow exception to existing alcohol sales restrictions, likely to accommodate a specific business or property owner's needs in the Ontario County area. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
