 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 1514

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 10, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. WEPRIN -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. COOK --
 read once and referred to the Committee on Racing and Wagering

 AN ACT to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to
 certain recreational contests in establishments with licenses to sell
 alcoholic beverages for consumption on premise

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that allowing
 2 recreational games such as playing cards, penny poker, cribbage and
 3 dominoes be permitted in establishments, licensed by the state liquor
 4 authority to serve alcoholic beverages, will offer mutual benefits for
 5 both the consumer and the establishment. Allowing for these activities
 6 to be conducted in establishments such as the local tavern or pub would
 7 provide a place for individuals like senior citizens to recreate. This
 8 legislation would further stimulate business within these establish-
 9 ments. Nevertheless, both employer and employee of such establishment
 10 would be prohibited from profiting from any such games so authorized
 11 pursuant to this legislation.
 12 § 2. The alcoholic beverage control law is amended by adding a new
 13 section 132 to read as follows:
 14 § 132. Recreational contests involving skill in establishments with
 15 licenses to sell alcoholic beverages. Notwithstanding any provision of
 16 law to the contrary any person, who holds a license to sell alcoholic
 17 beverages for consumption on premise pursuant to this chapter, may allow
 18 players to engage in recreational contests amongst themselves involving
 19 chance so long as skill is a factor at such establishments. Wagering
 20 amongst participants is permissible. No proceeds shall go to the estab-
 21 lishment. No employee of such establishment shall engage in such
 22 contests. Nothing in this section shall be considered unlawful for
 23 purposes of article two hundred twenty-five of the penal law nor shall
 24 it be construed to affect the existing authority of the governor under
 25 the constitution and the laws of this state to prohibit gambling.
 26 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
