        CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY
        terminating the provisions of Executive Order number
        202.52  issued  by  the Governor pursuant to section
        29-a of the Executive Law

  WHEREAS, the Governor was given the authority pursuant to  Executive
Law section 29-a by Executive Order to temporarily suspend or modify any
statute,  local  law,  ordinance,  order,  rule, or regulation, or parts
thereof, of any agency during a state disaster emergency  if  compliance
with  such  statute,  local  law,  ordinance, order, rule, or regulation
would prevent, hinder, or  delay  action  necessary  to  cope  with  the
disaster  emergency or if necessary to assist or aid in coping with such
disaster, and  to  issue  any  directive  during  a  disaster  emergency
necessary to cope with the disaster; and

  WHEREAS, Executive Order number 202.52 of 2020 temporarily suspended
or  modified,  and  directed,  any  provision  of the Alcoholic Beverage

are  licensed  by  the State Liquor Authority for on premises service of
alcoholic beverages, and which are required as a  license  condition  to
make  food  available,  shall  serve alcoholic beverages for on premises
consumption or for off premises consumption only if the service of  such
alcoholic beverage is accompanied by the purchase of a food item by each
individual  that  is being served an alcoholic beverage, consistent with
the food availability requirement of the  license  under  the  Alcoholic
Beverage  Control  Law. The Chairman of the State Liquor Authority shall
be authorized to promulgate any reasonable guidance to  effectuate  this
provision.

  WHEREAS,  the  State  Legislature  has the authority to terminate by
concurrent resolution Executive Orders issued under section 29-a of  the
Executive Law; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, (if the &HOUSE concur), that Executive Order number 202.52
