BILL NUMBER:S114
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to creating a liaison between the state liquor authority and local community boards and providing a sixty day notification period for community boards before the issuance of a new license, renewal of a license or alteration of a license
Purpose or general idea of bill
The liaison will act as the intermediary between the New York State Liquor Authority and the Community Boards with 60 days prior notice of license renewal. This will make it easier for the New York State Liquor Authority to take into account the suggestions of the Community Boards in regards to issuing liquor licenses.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends the alcoholic beverage control law by adding a new section 110-c, establishing the position of authority community liaison for each community board in the City of New York. The provisions for the creation, requirements and responsibilities of these community liaison positions are as follows:
1. The authority shall appoint a community liaison for each community board in the city of New York. 2. The community liaison is required to ensure that the community board receives all proper notifications of license issuance or renewal that are required under the provisions of this chapter. 3. The community liaison is responsible for: (a) regularly attending the meetings of the community board for which he or she is acting as the liaison; (b) submitting reports to the authority with respect to issues of concern of the community board for which he or she is the liaison; (c) submitting any community board recommendations to the authority; and (d) informing the community board of every regularly scheduled meeting of the liquor authority and providing an agenda for such meeting at least fifteen days prior to the meeting.
Sections 2-5 of the bill amend several sections of the alcoholic beverage control law in order to extend the period of notice to community boards before a license may be issued, renewed or altered.
Section 6 of the bill sets forth the effective date..
Justification
The ABC law mandates that the New York State Liquor Authority take into consideration the opinions of the Community Board before a liquor license for any establishment is issued or renewed. The New York State Liquor Authority does so, but most of the time the Community Boards' requests are not fulfilled because the New York State Liquor Authority has already issued the license or renewal.
