Bill > S08104

This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to require the state liquor authority to provide written notice to state legislative representatives (members of the state assembly and senate) within 30 days of receiving a completed application for a liquor license that requires municipal notification. Specifically, the notice must be sent to the assembly members and senators who represent the district where the proposed licensed premises is located or will be located. The bill aims to increase transparency and keep local legislators informed about new liquor license applications in their districts. The new requirement will take effect 30 days after the bill becomes law, giving the state liquor authority time to implement the new notification process. By mandating this communication, the bill provides elected officials with timely information about potential new alcohol-serving establishments in their represented areas, which could be of interest to their constituents.
