default judgment shall advise the licensee: (a) that a civil penalty was
imposed on the licensee; (b) the date the penalty was imposed;  (c)  the

ment, the division shall proceed to enter with such court a statement of
the default judgment containing the amount of the penalty  or  penalties
remaining  due  and unpaid, along with proof of mailing of the notice of
impending default judgment. The filing of such judgment shall  have  the
full  force  and  effect  of  a default judgment duly docketed with such
court pursuant to the civil practice law and  rules  and  shall  in  all
respects  be  governed  by  that chapter and may be enforced in the same
manner and with the same effect as that provided by law  in  respect  to
execution issued against property upon judgments of a court of record. A

  (f) Within the context of this subdivision, a building occupied  as  a
place  of worship does not cease to be "exclusively" occupied as a place
of worship by incidental uses that are not of a nature to  detract  from
the  predominant  character  of the building as a place of worship, such

uses which include, but which are not limited to: the conduct of legally
authorized games of bingo or other games of chance held as  a  means  of
raising  funds  for  the  not-for-profit  religious  organization  which
conducts  services  at  the place of worship or for other not-for-profit
organizations or groups; use of the building for  fund-raising  perform-
ances  by or benefitting the not-for-profit religious organization which

izations or groups; the use of the building by other religious organiza-
tions or groups for religious services or other purposes; the conduct of

ing, but not limited to, alcoholism, drug  addiction,  cancer,  cerebral

the operation of such premises. Such license may also include such suit-
able space outside the licensed premises and  adjoining  it  as  may  be
approved by the liquor authority.

section  4  of  part  Z of chapter 85 of the laws of 2002, is amended to
read as follows:
  S 67. License fees, duration  of  licenses;  fee  for  part  of  year.
Effective  April  first,  nineteen hundred eighty-three, licenses issued
pursuant to  sections  sixty-one,  sixty-two,  sixty-three,  sixty-four,
sixty-four-a  [and], sixty-four-b AND SIXTY-FOUR-E of this article shall
be effective for three years at three  times  that  annual  fee,  except
that, in implementing the purposes of this section, the liquor authority
shall  schedule  the  commencement  dates, duration and expiration dates
thereof to provide for an equal cycle of license renewals  issued  under
each  such  section  through  the  course  of the fiscal year. Effective
December first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight, licenses issued  pursuant
to   sections   sixty-four,   sixty-four-a   [and],   sixty-four-b   AND
SIXTY-FOUR-E of this article shall be effective for  two  years  at  two
times that annual fee, except that, in implementing the purposes of this
section,  the  liquor  authority  shall schedule the commencement dates,
duration and expiration dates thereof to provide for an equal  cycle  of
license  renewals  issued  under each such section through the course of
the fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing  on  December

article  may  elect  to  remit  the fee for such license in equal annual
installments. Such installments shall be due on dates established by the
liquor  authority  and  the  failure of a licensee to have remitted such
annual installments after a due date shall be a violation of this  chap-
ter.  For licenses issued for less than the three-year licensing period,
the license fee shall be levied on a pro-rated basis. The entire license
fee shall be due and payable at the  time  of  application.  The  liquor
authority  may  make such rules as shall be appropriate to carry out the
purpose of this section.
  S 24. This act shall take effect immediately, provided, however,  that
the  amendments to subdivision 3 of section 17 of the alcoholic beverage
control law made by section three of this act shall not affect the expi-
ration of such subdivision and shall be deemed to expire therewith.
