Relates to the adoption of a good cause for disapproval standard for certain off-premises retail licenses

This bill amends New York's alcoholic beverage control law to change the standard for approving temporary "seven day licenses" that allow retailers to sell liquor for off-premises consumption. It requires the liquor authority to approve such licenses "unless there is good cause shown for disapproval," shifting the burden from proving "public convenience and advantage" to requiring justification for denial. The bill directly affects businesses seeking short-term permits for events or temporary sales locations. It is a procedural change to licensing rules, not a new policy on liquor sales.
