Assemblyman Gregory R.
Becker (R-C, Lynbrook)
today said he is introducing
legislation which would
close down drinking estab-lishments
if their liquor
license has been cancelled or
revoked, pending the appeal
process.
The Becker bill comes in

where the establishment's
liquor license was cancelled
on Feb. 1 of this year, yet

Becker said that even

as possible, as long as they
are allowed to remain in bus-
