Bill > S274

This bill authorizes the town of Marshfield to grant 6 additional alcohol licenses, providing specific details about their allocation and restrictions. Specifically, the bill allows for 2 on-premises licenses (for Don Bravo Mexican Grill and The Corner Café), 1 on-premises license for an establishment in the Brant Rock Village Overlay District, and 3 off-premises licenses for Jackansons Package Store, Hubbards Cupboard, and Ocean Market & Liquor. The licenses are subject to several important conditions: on-premises licenses can only be used in dining rooms or other approved public areas, license transfers are generally prohibited, and new applicants must provide good standing letters from the Department of Revenue and Department of Unemployment Assistance. The Brant Rock Village Overlay District license is particularly restricted, with the location specifically defined by a zoning map. If a license is not used or renewed, it must be physically returned to the licensing authority, which can then potentially re-issue it to a new applicant within 3 years. When these new licenses are issued, the businesses must surrender their existing wine and malt beverage licenses. The bill provides a targeted approach to expanding alcohol licensing in Marshfield, with careful controls to manage the process.
