Bill > H4748

This bill allows the town of Bridgewater to grant an additional alcohol package store license to KOTAK LLC for the location at 233 Broad Street, despite existing legal restrictions. The license will permit the sale of all alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption, and is subject to several specific conditions: the license is tied specifically to this location and cannot be transferred elsewhere, the licensing authority can reissue the license to a new applicant within 3 years if the original licensee terminates or loses the license, and the issuance is contingent upon KOTAK LLC surrendering their existing wine and malt beverage license. The license must be issued within 2 years of the act's effective date, and the new licensee must provide documentation from the departments of revenue and unemployment assistance showing they are in good standing and have paid all applicable taxes and fees. The bill provides an exception to standard licensing restrictions in Massachusetts General Laws, specifically section 17 of chapter 138, to allow this additional license to be granted. The act will take effect immediately upon its passage.
