A 7580 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

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

This bill amends liquor licensing rules to allow a retail license for on-premises consumption (like in a restaurant or bar) even when the premises are within 200 feet of a school, church, synagogue, or place of worship. The exception applies exclusively to one specific property in Middletown, Orange County, described in the bill's legal boundaries. It does not change general licensing rules but creates a targeted exception for this single location. The bill passed quickly and was signed into law in August 2025.
