An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to licenses to sell liquors at retail for consumption on certain premises
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill would allow the business establishment Just Lorraine's Place to obtain a liquor license.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, allowing issuance of a retail license for on-premises consumption of alcohol for a premises within 200 feet of a place of worship, provided that the purpose of such premises is for the sale and consumption of food or beverage, and such premises is within the boundaries of the borough of Manhattan as directed therein.
Justification
While the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law prohibits the sale for on-premises consumption of alcohol at any location within 200 feet of a place of worship, exceptions have been made for certain establishments that do not pose problems for the place of worship, or the surrounding neighborhood.
