S 3484 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Ends the local option of towns and cities to prohibit the sale of alcohol; repealer

This bill removes the ability of towns and cities to ban the sale of alcohol within their borders. It achieves this by repealing the specific legal article that allowed local municipalities to hold referendums on alcohol prohibition and preventing them from passing new ordinances that would ban sales entirely. The changes would apply to any municipality that previously used these local options to restrict alcohol availability. The law would not take effect immediately but would wait ninety days after being signed into law.
