Provides an exemption for certain property from the prohibition of alcohol sales within a certain distance from a school
This bill exempts a specific American Legion post in Queens, New York, from the state rule that generally bans alcohol sales within 200 feet of a school. The legislation allows the post to obtain a retail license for on-premises consumption because its property is located within that restricted distance. The exemption applies only to this single location, which is bounded by Brookville Boulevard and Stratford Avenue, and does not change the law for any other businesses or properties. Once signed into law, the American Legion post can legally sell alcohol for consumption on its premises despite its proximity to a school.
