BILL NUMBER: S8792

SPONSOR: HARCKHAM
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to
providing the village of Ossining, Westchester county, with an exemption
from restrictions on the hours of sale of alcoholic beverages at retail
for on-premises consumption

 
PURPOSE:

Provides the village of Ossining, Westchester county, with an exemption
from restrictions on the hours of sale of alcoholic beverages at retail
for on-premises consumption

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends subdivision 5-a of section 106 of the alcoholic bever-
age control law to provide an exemption to the village of Ossining to
decide when to close places that serve alcoholic beverages for on-prem-
ises consumption.

Section 2 states the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The village of Ossining currently has bars and taverns that remain open
until 4 A.M. Many residents have voiced their concerns involving intoxi-
cated individuals causing damage to property, driving while intoxicated,
and suffering injury past 2 A.M. due to certain establishments remaining
open. This has caused an increase in the deployment of medical and law
enforcement resources to the areas surrounding these establishments.
Allowing the village of Ossining to set bar and tavern closing times
would reduce the destruction of property and would eliminate the emer-
gency calls related to incidents of intoxication. This legislation comes
at the request of the village of Ossining

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall have
become a law.
