Provides for a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on certain premises
This bill amends liquor licensing rules to allow a retail license for on-premises consumption at one specific property in Middletown, Orange County. It specifically permits alcohol sales for customers to drink on-site at a defined location (Lot 10 on a historic map), which is within 200 feet of a school or place of worship - typically prohibited under standard rules. The license applies only to this exact parcel of land, bounded by North Street and other landmarks in Middletown. It does not change general licensing rules for other locations or businesses.
