2009-A8519A (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:A8519A

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in
relation  to  making  the provisions governing the various on-premises
liquor licenses consistent with respect  to  public  interest  factors
that  may  be considered by the state liquor authority when evaluating
the merits of a license application

PURPOSE OF THE BILL: This bill would make consistent the factors  that
shall   be  considered  by  the  state  Liquor  Authority  (SLA)  when
determining whether public convenience and advantage, and  the  public
interest  will  be  promoted by the granting of any of the on-premises
liquor licenses provided for in Article 5 of  the  Alcoholic  Beverage
control (ABC) Law.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Sections 1 through 4 of the bill would
amend  ABC  Law  §§  64(6-a),  64-a,  64-b  and  64-C  to  establish a
consistent  standard  with  respect  to  the  factors  that  shall  be
considered  by the SLA when determining whether public convenience and
advantage, and the public interest will be promoted by the grant of  a
specific   on-premises  liquor  license  to  a  particular  applicant.
Section 5 of the bill would provide for an immediate effective date.

EXISTING LAW: ABC Law § 64(6-a) sets forth certain  factors  that  the
SLA  can  consider when evaluating the merits of an application for an
on-premises restaurant liquor license. However, the ABC Law  does  not

explicitly  state  that such factors may be considered for on-premises
liquor licenses at  taverns  (§  64-a),  bottle  clubs  (§  64-b),  or
restaurant-brewer (§ 64-c).

JUSTIFICATION:  In  1993,  Article  5  of  the  ABC  Law  provided for
essentially three types of on-:premisCs liquor license: restaurant  (
64),  tavern (§ 64-a), and bottle club (§ 65-b). An over-concentration
of restaurant and  tavern  licenses  in  mixed  residential-commercial
neighborhoods  was  found by the Legislature to have a negative impact
on the quality of life for residents in many of these  areas  of  over
concentration.  The  Legislature's  desire  to  protect residents from
existing. and potential-problems associated with an over-concentration
of restaurants and taverns prompted enactment of Chapter  670  of  the
Laws  of 1993, which gave the SLA the permissive power to consider any
or all of the following factors when evaluating the merits  of  a  new
application for an on-premises liquor license:

(a)  the number, classes and character of licenses in proximity to the
location and in the particular municipality or subdivision thereof;

(b) evidence  that  all  necessary  licenses  and  permits  have  been
obtained from the state and all other governing bodies;

(c)  effect  of  the  grant  of  the  license on vehicular traffic and
parking in proximity to the location; ,

(d) the existing noise level at the location and any increase in noise
level that would be generated by the proposed premises;

(e) the history of liquor violations and reported criminal activity at
the proposed premises; and


(f) the history of building and  fire  violations  at  any  businesses
owned and/or operated by the applicant;

(g) history of city of New York community Board Opinions and Decisions
made  pursuant  to the alcohol and beverage control law for businesses
owned and/or operated by the applicant; and

(h) any other factors specified by law or regulation that are relevant
to  determine  the  "public  convenience  and  advantage  and   public
interest" of the community.

This  legislative  grant  of  power  had  the effect of overruling the
decision of the Court of Appeals in Matter of  Circus  Disco  Ltd.  v.
New  York  State  Liquor  Auth, 51 NY,2d 24 (1980), which held in part
that under the pre-amendment statute, the adverse effect  that  a  new
on-premises  liquor  establishment  would  have  on vehicular traffic,
parking, and noise levels was beyond the purview of the SLA. The Court
held  that  those  considerations  appropriately  reside  within   the
exclusive  discretion  of  local  zoning officials, In 2000, ABC Law
64-d(7) was amended and requires  the  SLA  to  consider  all  of  the
factors  this  bill  would  mandate  when  determining  whether public
convenience and advantage and the public interest would  be.  promoted
by the grant of a cabaret liquor license.

Amendment  of  ABC Law §§ 64 (restaurant), 64-a (tavern), 64-b (bottle
club), and 64-c (restaurant-brewer) - to conform  with  the  mandatory
language  of ABCL § 64-d (7), is desirable in order to make consistent
all of the factors  that  shall  be  considered  by  the  SLA  when  -
determining  whether  public  convenience and advantage and the public
interest will be promoted by  the  grant  of  a  specific  on-premises
liquor license to a particular applicant.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A.11162/S.7374 of 2008

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
