A 9049 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to an exemption for certain property from the prohibition of alcohol sales within a certain distance of a church

This bill creates a specific exemption allowing the sale of alcohol for on-premises consumption within 200 feet of a church, synagogue, or other place of worship. The provision applies only to a single, precisely defined property in Saratoga Springs, New York, which is currently leased by a local church. By amending the state's alcoholic beverage control law, the legislation permits a retail license for this particular location despite the general rule prohibiting alcohol sales near religious buildings. The change takes effect immediately upon signing and does not alter laws for any other properties in the state.
