Bill > H3367

This bill authorizes the town of Bedford to issue eight additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises, which is a type of license allowing patrons to drink alcohol at the establishment. These new licenses are permitted despite existing regulations in Chapter 138 of the General Laws, which typically govern alcoholic beverage licenses, and they will be non-transferable to different locations or entities, though they can be transferred to new owners for use at the same permitted location. The town's licensing authority can also choose to limit these licenses to businesses that already hold a common victualler license, which is a license for establishments that serve food. If any of these licenses are revoked or no longer used, they will be returned to the town's licensing authority, which can then issue them to new applicants.
