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 exemption allowing restaurants to sell alcohol within 200 feet of schools, churches, or places of worship in a designated area of Manhattan. The law applies only to properties located within a precisely defined boundary in the city of New York, permitting the alcohol beverage authority to issue licenses for these establishments despite general restrictions near educational facilities. By amending the alcoholic beverage control law, the legislation clarifies that this exception is limited to restaurants operating entirely within the described block, taking effect immediately upon passage.
