Ensures that the provisions governing liquor licenses are consistent with respect to public interest factors.

New York A06691 amends the alcoholic beverage control law to ensure consistency in the provisions governing liquor licenses with respect to public interest factors. The bill allows the state liquor authority to consider various factors when evaluating license applications, including the number and types of licenses in the area, the effect on traffic and noise, history of violations, and other relevant factors. It mandates hearings and public meetings for certain license applications and prohibits denying renewals based solely on proximity to other licensed premises.
