Bill > H5031

This bill allows the Providence Board of Licenses to issue two specific Class BV liquor licenses for properties located at 94 Carpenter Street and 1023 Broad Street, both within the city of Providence. A Class BV liquor license is typically a restricted license for restaurants or establishments that primarily serve food, where alcohol sales are a secondary part of their business. The bill adds these two specific locations to the existing list of exemptions in Rhode Island's liquor license proximity restrictions, which normally prevent alcohol sales within 200 feet of schools or places of worship. By granting this exemption, the bill enables these two specific properties to potentially obtain liquor licenses that would otherwise be prohibited due to their location. The change is specific and narrow, applying only to these two exact addresses in Providence, and will take effect immediately upon passage.
