Relates to an exemption for certain property from the prohibition of alcohol sales within a certain distance from a school
This bill creates a specific exception to the rule that generally prohibits selling alcohol within 200 feet of schools, churches, or places of worship. It allows the alcohol authority to issue restaurant licenses for properties located entirely within a defined block in Manhattan's Irving Place area, despite its proximity to a school. The law applies only to restaurants operating strictly inside this designated boundary and takes effect immediately upon passage.
