Bill > H4155

This bill allows the town of West Springfield to grant four additional liquor licenses for off-premises alcohol sales, specifically to four local businesses: Calabrese Market, Delaney's Market, The Country Store (KKK&P LLC), and Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe. These licenses are an exception to the standard state limit on liquor licenses under Chapter 138 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The licenses can only be used at the specified locations, and if a license is terminated, cancelled, or not renewed, it must be returned to the licensing authority, which can then reissue it to a new applicant within three years. To qualify for a new license, applicants must provide letters from the Department of Revenue and Department of Unemployment Assistance showing they are in good standing and have paid all required taxes and fees. Additionally, as part of the bill, The Country Store must surrender its existing wine and malt beverage license upon receiving the new all-alcoholic beverages license. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, and any granted licenses must be issued within one year of the act's effective date.
