BILL NUMBER:S1130A
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to notification to community boards
Purpose or general idea of bill
To establish a law that would require the SLA to notify the local community board when any person licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on premises applies for a special permit.
Summary of provisions
Amends section 99 of the alcoholic beverage control law by adding a new subdivision to include notice of intent to apply for a permit to the local community board,
Justification
Currently, any person or business licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption may apply to the SLA for a special permit to remain open on any week-day between the hours of 4 a.m. or the closing hour, and 8 a.m. This often takes place during New Years Eve and other holidays. The State Liquor Authority only requires that the application of the intent to apply for this permit be sent to the police precinct. Community Boards are left out of the process.
To ensure that the local community has input in these decisions, and to ensure that the SLA make fair and educated decisions on proposed permits, application notices should be sent to both the local police department and local community board, particularly when the applicant is in close proximity to residential areas. Community Boards have a better sense of local neighborhood issues and the institutional history of local businesses. Boards should be part of this process since they are included when local businesses are applying for the original licensure. The notification would provide an opportunity for the community to comment on local issues while also maintaining its quality of life.
