Provides an exemption for certain property from the prohibition of alcohol sales within a certain distance from a school
This bill proposes to create a specific exception to New York's law that generally bans alcohol sales near schools. It would allow the American Legion Post 483 in Queens to sell alcohol on its premises, even though the property is located within 200 feet of a school. The exemption applies only to this single location and requires that the establishment also sells food or beverages for on-site consumption. If passed, the change would take effect immediately, permitting the post to operate a retail alcohol license despite its proximity to a school.
