Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 118 of the alcoholic beverage control law, as added by chapter 536 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows:
3. (A) As used in this section, the term "for cause" shall also include the existence of a sustained and continuing pattern of noise, disturbance, misconduct, or disorder on or about the licensed premises, related to the operation of the premises or the conduct of its patrons, which adversely affects the health, welfare or safety of the inhabitants of the area in which such licensed premises are located.
(B) As used in this section, the term "for cause" shall also include deliberately misleading the authority on the nature of the business to be operated on the licensed premises or changing the nature of the business at the licensed premises during the licensing period without seeking prior approval from the authority.
Section 2 This act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
The State Liquor Authority is in need of additional authority to address the growing problem of misconduct at the premises of license and by the actions of those attending those premises.
This legislation will give the SLA the needed authority to quickly deal with such misconduct and deliberate misleading information provided by the license holder.
