✦ Plain-Language Summary

This resolution urges New York State lawmakers and the Governor to pass a bill that would allow certain special events to serve alcohol outdoors. If the state law passes, it could make it easier for festivals, fairs, and community gatherings across NYC to offer outdoor drinks legally. This would benefit local event organizers and boost neighborhood economies.
