Requires restaurants and persons authorized to sell alcoholic beverages to have tangible menus available upon request
S 3216 requires restaurants and businesses with on-premises alcohol licenses to provide physical menus showing food and drink options when customers request them. It prohibits relying solely on digital or online menus, mandating that printed menus must be available in a visible location (like a posted sign) at all times. The law applies to establishments covered under New York’s alcohol beverage control regulations and takes effect 30 days after enactment. This change ensures customers can access menu information without needing digital devices or internet access.
