Bill > S30

This bill authorizes the town of Sturbridge to issue one additional license for the sale of wine and malt alcoholic beverages, which are alcoholic drinks like beer and wine, that are not meant to be consumed on the premises where they are sold, such as a liquor store or grocery store. This specific license is for a business located at 178 Main Street in Sturbridge and is granted under specific provisions of Chapter 138 of the General Laws, which governs alcoholic beverages in Massachusetts, with an exception to section 17 of that chapter. The bill also states that this license cannot be moved to a different location, but it can be transferred to a new applicant at the same address if that applicant demonstrates they are in good standing with the department of revenue and the department of unemployment assistance, meaning all taxes and contributions are paid. If the license is no longer used at its original location, it will be returned to the licensing authority, which can then grant it to a new applicant at the same address under the same conditions.
