Bill > H6230

This bill allows the Providence board of licenses to issue a Class BV liquor license for the specific property located at 865 Westminster Street, despite existing proximity restrictions that normally prevent liquor licenses near schools or places of worship. The bill amends Section 3-7-19 of Rhode Island's General Laws by adding a provision (specifically subsection 70) that grants an exemption for this particular location, identified as Plat 029, Lot 136 on the Providence tax assessment map. By creating this specific exemption, the bill enables the local licensing board to consider and potentially approve a Class BV liquor license (which typically covers malt and vinous beverages) for this address after reviewing an application, even if the location is within 200 feet of a school or place of worship. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, which is typical for local liquor license exemption legislation.
