     2  396-uu to read as follows:
     3    § 396-uu. Tangible menus. Any  restaurant  or  licensee  possessing  a
     4  retail  license for on-premises consumption subject to the provisions of
     5  section one hundred six of the alcoholic  beverage  control  law  shall,
     6  upon  the  request  of  a customer, make available a printed or tangible
     7  menu communicating essential information about the  beverages  and  food
