S 8508 New York Senate · 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 exception to New York's rule that generally prohibits selling alcohol within 200 feet of a church or place of worship. It allows the state to issue licenses for on-premises alcohol sales at a particular property in Saratoga Springs, New York, which is located within that restricted distance. The exemption applies only to this single, geographically defined parcel of land, which is currently associated with the Universal Baptist Church. If passed, the change would permit alcohol sales at this location while leaving the broader prohibition for all other areas in the state intact.
