BILL NUMBER:S6770
Title of bill
An act to authorize certain premises to sell liquor
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill would allow the business establishment The Broadalbin Hotel 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 Village of Broadalbin 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. This bill would exempt the Broadalbin Hotel in the Village of Broadalbin from this provision of law thereby allowing sale and consumption of alcohol in the restaurant. The Broadalbin Hotel has existed since the late 1800's. For most of that time they were authorized to sell alcohol, but unfortunately the license lapsed around the time the establishment was being sold to a new owner.
