Exempts certain property from the prohibition of alcohol sales within a certain distance from a place of worship
This bill exempts a specific parcel of land in Queens County from New York's general rule prohibiting alcohol sales within 200 feet of a place of worship. It allows a retail alcohol license for on-site consumption at a food/beverage establishment located *only* within the precisely defined boundaries of this property (detailed in the bill text), which adjoins a church. The exemption applies solely to this one location and requires the business to primarily sell food or beverages. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as requested.)
