Bill > H4286

This bill authorizes the town of Somerset to grant one additional liquor license to Olde Village Convenience Store, located at 2756 County Street, specifically for selling wine and malt beverages to be consumed off-premises. The license will be subject to the same regulations as other liquor licenses under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 138, with some specific conditions: the license cannot be transferred to another 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 license is terminated, cancelled, or not renewed, it must be returned to the licensing authority, which can then re-grant the license to a new applicant at the same location within three years. The license must be initially issued within one year of the act's effective date, and the bill takes effect immediately upon passage. This legislation appears to be a targeted, local exception to existing liquor licensing regulations, providing a specific opportunity for a local convenience store to obtain an additional off-premises alcohol sales license.
