BILL NUMBER:S2823
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law and the real property law, in relation to providing for the filing of a state liquor authority order imposing against revoked premises a proscription against future licensure
Purpose
Relates to filing of an order imposing against revoked premises a proscription against future licensure.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Section 113 of alcoholic beverage control law is amended by adding a new subdivision 4 to read as follows: 4. Where the liquor authority has issued an order revoking the license far any premises and imposing a prescription refusing the issuance of a license under this chapter, for a period of two years after such revocation, for such licensed premises or for any part of the building containing such licensed premises and connected therewith, or has issued an order modifying or rescinding a prescription previously imposed, a certified copy of such order shall without fee be filed with, recorded and indexed by the clerk of the county in which such impresses are situated as an order affecting real property in accordance with section two hundred ninety-seven-b of the real property law.
Justification
This legislation is being introduced to require all proscription of liquor licensees be filled with the county clerk to ensure that future owners of the property are aware of the liquor licenses ban. This change will allow for better planning and will provide businesses with the information they need to open a successful bar and/or restaurant without unnecessary delay and costs.
This is in response to an incident on Staten Island where a family converted a local site into a family restaurant. The family was forced to delay the opening of the eatery when they found out the property had a two-year liquor license ban imposed because of several violations by the previous owner. The delayed opening has resulted in severe financial setbacks for the family and may prevent opening of the restaurant.
