N.Y. Alcoholic Beverage Control Law § 99-f: Special permits for minors to entertain

§ 99-f. Special permits for minors to entertain. The liquor authority

is hereby authorized to issue special permits to any person under the

age of eighteen years for the purpose of enabling such person to appear

as an entertainer on any premises licensed for retail sale hereunder.

The provisions of this section shall apply to persons under the age of

eighteen years who are not otherwise eligible to act as an entertainer

pursuant to the provisions of subdivision two-b of section one hundred

of this chapter. Such special permit shall be issued, in the discretion

of the authority, upon the application of such minor. No such special

permit shall be granted unless the written consent of both parents or

the lawful guardian or guardians of such minor shall appear upon such

application. The liquor authority may require the personal appearance at

an office of the authority of such applicant and his parents or legal

guardians at the time such application is made or at any other time

prior to the consideration of such application by the authority upon

written notice to the applicant and/or his parents or legal guardians.

Such personal appearance, if requested, shall be for the purpose of

enabling the authority to establish that the entertainment that the

applicant is intending to perform is not contrary to the best interests

of the minor. The liquor authority is hereby authorized and directed to

promulgate rules and regulations for the orderly implementation and

administration of the provisions of this section. Such rules and

regulations shall provide for a reasonable limitation upon the types of

entertainment for which an application for a special permit shall be

granted and may provide for conditions or limitations which may be

attached to the granting of such special permit. In addition to any

conditions or limitations as may be so imposed, such rules or

regulations shall impose as a condition for the granting of such special

permit that a parent or legal guardian of the minor shall be present

during such minor's appearance as an entertainer. Such special permit

shall be subject to revocation, after a hearing upon a determination by

the authority that the conditions or limitations attached upon such

special permit have been violated. Such special permits shall be issued

for limited periods not to exceed one year. The liquor authority may

impose a fee for the issuance of such special permit. Such fee shall not

exceed sixty-four dollars if issued for an annual period nor shall such

fee exceed six dollars per month or any lesser period thereof for which

a special permit has been issued. The liquor authority may waive such

fee. The liquor authority shall revoke any special permit upon the

written request of the parents or legal guardians of such minor.
