NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A6793
SPONSOR: Bichotte Hermelyn 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 will allow for a restaurant, Golden Blue Bar & Restaurant Inc,
to obtain a full liquor license. The bill will amend the ABC 20C-foot
Law which will authorize the issuing of a retail liquor license to this
business in the County of Kings, that is within a two-hundred-foot prox-
imity of a religious teaching institution.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Is amended to authorize the issuance for a retail license for
Golden Blue Bar & Restaurants at its current location.
JUSTIFICATION:
Golden Blue Bar & Restaurant Inc. applied for a liquor license which
took a long time to process due to the pandemic and was later denied.
Due to the existing ABC 200-foot law, this establishment has been
restricted in fully serving its customers which makes it a challenge to
compete, thus impacting the future of business. Further-more, the reli-
gious institution which is within 200-feet, on 1143 Flatbush Avenue, has
expressed that they have no objections to the request to apply for a
full liquor license. An exemption to the ABC 200-foot Law would allow
Golden Blue Bar .& Restaurant Inc. to operate with a full liquor license
they will be able to meet the needs of the Community and attract more
patrons.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New Bill
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
