Requires the state liquor authority to provide notice to state legislative representatives upon receipt of an application for a liquor license in their district.

This bill requires the New York State Liquor Authority to notify state lawmakers whenever someone applies for a liquor license in their district. This aims to keep legislators informed about new liquor establishments and potential changes in their communities. The goal is to enhance transparency and allow for local input on such applications.

Supporters of the bill argue that it promotes transparency and accountability in the liquor licensing process. By keeping state legislative representatives informed, the bill empowers them to better represent their constituents' interests and concerns regarding new liquor licenses in their areas.

Critics may argue that this bill could lead to unnecessary delays in the liquor licensing process, as it adds another layer of notification and potential political influence. They might also contend that it could discourage new businesses from applying for licenses due to the increased scrutiny and involvement of local lawmakers.
