Increases the capacity needed to be considered a bottle club
This bill changes the definition of a "bottle club" under New York's alcohol laws by raising the required capacity threshold from 20 to 100 people. It directly affects venues operating for profit that serve alcohol on-site, requiring them to obtain a specific license if they accommodate 100 or more people. The key provision modifies the legal standard for when a venue must hold this license, without altering other definitions or restrictions in the law.
