Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize the town of Dalton to grant an additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Dalton to issue one additional license for the sale of alcoholic beverages that are not intended to be consumed on the premises, specifically for Mazvar Inc., which operates as Greenridge Variety & Convenience at 1086 South Street. This exception is made despite a general rule in Chapter 138 of the General Laws that limits the number of such licenses a town can grant. The license will be subject to all regulations in Chapter 138, except for the specific section that limits the number of licenses. Importantly, this license cannot be transferred to a different location, but it can be granted to a new applicant at the same address if that applicant demonstrates good standing with the Department of Revenue and has paid all taxes. If the license is ever canceled, revoked, or no longer used, it will be returned to the town's licensing authority, which can then grant it to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions.
