Bill > H5083

This bill authorizes the city of Westfield to change one of its existing licenses, specifically a "seasonal off-premises all alcoholic beverages license" (meaning a license to sell alcohol for consumption elsewhere, only available during certain times of the year), into a permanent "annual license" for the same type of sale. This change is permitted even if other laws would normally prevent it, and the license will remain at its current location at 54 Pleasant Street in Westfield. The Westfield License Commission, which is the local authority responsible for issuing these licenses, can grant this new annual license under specific conditions, including ensuring the license is in good standing with the Commonwealth's Department of Revenue and that all taxes are paid. If the license is ever no longer used, it will be returned to the Westfield License Commission, which can then issue it to a new applicant at the same location and under the same rules.
