Requires all ADA or handicapped parking spaces at an arena, entertainment or sports venue shall be directly outside the entrance door to the building as stated in federal law; provides that failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall result in an automatic suspension of any New York liquor license held by such venue for a period of one week for each day in which such venue is noncompliant; makes related provisions.

This bill requires that all ADA or handicapped parking spaces at arenas, entertainment, or sports venues be located directly outside the main entrance, in accordance with federal law. If a venue fails to meet this requirement, it would automatically lose its New York liquor license for one week for each day it is noncompliant.

Supporters of this bill argue that it enhances accessibility for individuals with disabilities, ensuring that they have convenient access to venues. They believe that by enforcing strict compliance with parking regulations, the bill promotes inclusivity and safety for all patrons.

Critics of the bill may argue that the automatic suspension of liquor licenses is an excessive penalty that could harm businesses financially, especially if compliance issues arise due to unforeseen circumstances. They might also contend that the legislation does not consider the practical challenges venues may face in modifying their parking arrangements.
