Bill Summary

That the town of Maynard be authorized to grant an additional license for the sale of alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Maynard to grant an additional alcoholic beverage license to Maynard Corner Store LLC, located at 49 Walnut Street, despite existing legal limitations on the number of such licenses. The license will be for selling all alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption, and it is subject to the regulations in Chapter 138 of Massachusetts General Laws, except for section 17 which typically restricts the number of licenses. The bill includes several key provisions: the license cannot be transferred to a different location, but can be granted to a new applicant at the same location if they provide good standing letters from the departments of revenue and unemployment assistance; if the license is terminated, cancelled, or revoked, it must be returned to the licensing authority; and the license must be issued within one year of the act's effective date. Additionally, the licensee must surrender their existing wine and malt beverage license upon receiving this new, more comprehensive alcoholic beverage license. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, and it requires a vote of approval by the town of Maynard.
