Bill Summary

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

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Ipswich to grant two new alcoholic beverage licenses: one for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises at Mamma Luisa Cucina and Bar, and another for the sale of wines and malt beverages not to be consumed on the premises at Cellar Door Ipswich. These licenses are exceptions to existing state law, specifically chapter 138 of the General Laws, which governs alcoholic beverages. The bill clarifies that these new licenses cannot be transferred to a different location, but a new applicant can receive a license for the same location if they demonstrate good standing with the departments of revenue and unemployment assistance, meaning all taxes, fees, and contributions are paid. If a license is canceled, revoked, or no longer in use, it will be returned to the licensing authority, who can then grant it to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions.
