Bill Summary
Authorizing the town of Hudson to grant 1 additional license for the sale of wine and malt beverages not to be drunk on the premises
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of Hudson to grant one additional license for selling wine and malt beverages (alcoholic beverages that cannot be consumed on-site) to Hudson Hives LLC, specifically for their premises at 45 Main Street, Suite 203. The license will be subject to all provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 138, except for section 17, and comes with several specific conditions: 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 original licensee terminates or loses the license, it will be returned to the licensing authority, which can then reissue it to a new applicant within three years under the same conditions. The license must be originally issued within three years of the act's effective date, and the bill takes effect immediately upon passage. This legislation provides a targeted exception to existing licensing rules to allow a specific business in Hudson to obtain an alcohol sales license.
