A 10596 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on certain premises

This bill allows the sale of liquor for on-premises consumption at a specific location in Greene County, New York, that is currently within 200 feet of a place of worship. The legislation creates an exception to existing alcohol licensing rules for a property in the Village of Catskill that is bounded by Church Street and Water Street. The change permits a retail license for this particular premises, which must be used for selling food or beverages for consumption on-site. The bill applies only to this specific property and does not alter licensing rules for other locations in the county.
