S 7326 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

This bill exempts one specific property in Rochester (Lot #7 at South Avenue and Gregory Street) from a rule that normally prohibits alcohol sales within 200 feet of a church, school, or place of worship. It allows a food or beverage establishment on that exact parcel to obtain a retail license for on-premises consumption, even though it's near a church. The exemption applies only to this defined location within Rochester's city limits and does not change the general rule for other areas. The bill creates a narrow exception for a single property, not a broader policy change.
