Bill > S2038

This bill authorizes the city of Lynn to issue one additional license for the sale of alcoholic beverages that are not intended for consumption on the premises, specifically for the business known as the T-Stop Superette located at 546 Walnut Street. This means the license is for off-site consumption, like a liquor store or a package store. The bill overrides a general rule (section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws) that usually limits the number of such licenses a city can grant, allowing Lynn to exceed that limit by one for this specific business. The license will be subject to all other rules in chapter 138, except for the general limitation on the number of licenses. Importantly, this license cannot be moved to a different location, but it can be transferred to a new owner at the same location if that new applicant demonstrates they are in good standing with the state's Department of Revenue and Department of Unemployment Assistance, meaning all taxes, fees, and contributions are paid. If the license is ever canceled, revoked, or unused, it will be returned to the licensing board, which can then grant it to another new applicant at the same location under the same conditions. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
