Bill > H386

This bill authorizes the town of Hudson to grant one additional liquor license to Hudson Hives LLC for selling wine and malt beverages for off-premises consumption at 45 Main Street, Suite 203. The license will be subject to Chapter 138 of the General Laws, with a key exception to standard licensing restrictions. The licensing authority cannot transfer the license to a different location, but may grant it 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, not renewed, cancelled, or revoked, it must be returned to the licensing authority, which can then re-issue it to a new applicant within 3 years under the same conditions. The bill stipulates that the license must be originally issued within 3 years of the act's effective date, and it will take effect immediately upon passage. This type of specialized local legislation allows municipalities to have more flexibility in managing specific business licensing needs that may not be covered by standard state regulations.
