As the restaurant industry continues to struggle during the COVID-19 pandemic, lawmakers are considering a bill that would extend state liquor licenses for one year at no cost.
The measure, sponsored by Syracuse Sen. Rachel May, comes as restaurants have been forced to either close indefinitely or greatly reduce their staff during the crisis.
“Our restaurants and bars have faced enormous challenges during the pandemic,” May said. “These businesses are cornerstones of our personal and social lives that need help right now. This is one step we can take to help ease some of their burden after nearly a year of intermittent closures and reduced capacities. We must do what we can to help restaurants and bars thrive as we hopefully enter the final stage of the pandemic, and to kickstart a pivotal part of our economy.”
