New York A10995 ensures consistent public interest factors for liquor license evaluations.

New York A10995 amends the alcoholic beverage control law to ensure consistent public interest factors when evaluating liquor license applications. The bill specifies factors the state liquor authority must consider, including the number of nearby licenses, the effect on traffic and parking, noise levels, history of violations, and other relevant factors. The authority must conduct a hearing and may hold a public meeting before issuing a license. The bill also allows municipalities or community boards to waive the required notice period.
