Existing law
Current law requires that establishments renewing their liquor license send a 30 day notice to the village clerk, town or city where the establishment is located.
Justification
Many issues have arisen in recent years regarding the arduous process for business to obtain and renew a liquor licenses in New York state. When current establishments must renew their license, current law requires them to give 30 day notice to their municipality by certified mail with receipt or face substantial fines. This is an unnecessary step in a time sensitive renewal process for businesses who are already operating with a liquor license, This bill would not apply to a business who is seeking to make any changes to their license.
