Bill Summary

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

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Milford to grant one additional alcoholic beverage license to Constandinos Giokas, who operates Charlie's Mini Mart at 36 School Street. The license is specifically for selling all types of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption, which means customers can purchase alcohol to take away and drink elsewhere, not to drink in the store. The bill provides specific conditions for the license, including that it cannot be transferred to another location, but can be granted to a new applicant at the same location if they 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. If the license is cancelled, revoked, or no longer used, it must be physically returned to the licensing authority. The initial license must be issued within one year of the act's effective date, and subsequent licenses will be subject to the same conditions. The bill represents a specialized local legislative action that provides an exception to standard Massachusetts liquor licensing regulations by allowing an additional license in the town of Milford.
