New Year’s Eve All Night Alcoholic Beverage Permit Application Deadline Approaching in New York

The New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) has announced on its webpage that the submission deadline for New Year’s Eve All Night Permit Applications is November 16, 2015. The SLA has outlined the criteria that will be considered in deciding whether to issue such permits. They include:

• Timely filing of the application;
• Licensee’s disciplinary history (including any pending charges); and
• Whether, given the nature of the event, the licensee has adequate facilities and security plans in place.

The SLA advises that only one all night permit is required per licensed establishment, and that applications will not be accepted after the application deadline.
