AI Summary
This bill repeals Section 3-7-19 of the General Laws, which currently prohibits the issuance of certain retail liquor licenses (specifically Class B, C, N, and I licenses, and those under § 3-7-16.8) if the establishment is located within 200 feet of a school or a place of public worship, with some exceptions and specific geographic exemptions previously granted to various cities and towns. The repeal means that this 200-foot restriction will no longer apply, and the bill will become effective immediately upon its passage.
