S 10601 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides an exemption from certain requirements for a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on certain premises

This bill modifies New York's alcoholic beverage control law to allow a specific retail liquor license in Walden, Orange County, even though the location is within 200 feet of a place of worship. The legislation creates an exemption to standard distance restrictions for a single premises at 79 West Main Street, provided the establishment sells food or beverages for on-site consumption. By adding a new paragraph to the state law, the bill authorizes the licensing authority to issue a permit for this specific site despite its proximity to a church, synagogue, or similar religious building. The change applies only to this one location and takes effect immediately upon passage.
