BILL NUMBER:S6986
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on certain premises
Purpose
This bill would allow Tony's Pizzeria to be eligible to obtain a liquor license.
Summary of 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 Ulster County as directed therein.
Justification
This legislation was requested by Tony's Pizzeria. 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 Tony's Pizzeria in Kingston from this provision of law thereby allowing sale and consumption of alcohol in the restaurant.
