What distance is associated with prohibitions near public schools?

• A. 1,000 feet.
• B. 500 feet.
• C. 2,000 feet.
• D. No distance is defined.

Answer: (A)

A 1,000-foot buffer around public schools.

This distance is used to keep alcohol sales and services away from schools to reduce youth access and exposure. The measurementGenerally runs from the school’s property line to the nearest point of the licensed premises, creating a no-sale zone within 1,000 feet. The other distances listed don’t apply here because the rule for public schools specifically sets this 1,000-foot prohibition.
