Relates to a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on certain premises
This bill allows liquor retailers in Schoharie County to sell alcohol for on-site consumption within 200 feet of schools or places of worship, an exception to the usual distance restrictions. The law applies only to a specific, historically defined property in the village of Middleburgh that includes several distinct land parcels. By amending the state's alcoholic beverage control law, the legislation creates a localized license option for this particular site while maintaining the general rule that such licenses are typically prohibited near educational and religious buildings.
