Exempts certain property from the prohibition of alcohol sales within a certain distance from a church

This bill (A 7412) exempts one specific property in Rochester from a state rule that generally prohibits alcohol sales within 200 feet of a church, school, or place of worship. It directly affects the location described as Lot #7 in the William Horcheler Subdivision at South Avenue and Gregory Street in Rochester, Monroe County. The law allows a retail alcohol license for on-premises consumption at this exact parcel, which is bounded by specific street measurements and includes a defined easement. The exemption applies only to this single location, not to other properties near churches statewide. The bill was signed into law (Chapter 343) on August 22, 2025.
