Bill > S08314

This bill amends the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Control Law to create a specific exception to the existing rule prohibiting liquor licenses for establishments located within 200 feet of a place of worship. The bill allows the state liquor authority to issue a retail license for on-premises alcohol consumption for a very specific premises located at 2192-92A Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. The location is precisely described in the bill, with exact boundaries and geographic details, and is limited to a food or beverage retail establishment within the boundaries of Kings County (Brooklyn). By creating this narrow exception, the bill provides a targeted way for this particular location to obtain a liquor license despite its proximity to a place of worship, which would normally disqualify it from receiving such a license. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing the specific premises to potentially obtain a liquor license right away.
