Bill Summary

For legislation relative to liquor licenses within the town of Salisbury,- reports the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2201).

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Salisbury to issue five additional licenses for establishments that sell all types of alcoholic beverages intended for consumption on-site, overriding certain existing state laws regarding liquor licenses. These new licenses will be governed by Chapter 138 of the General Laws, which sets forth regulations for alcoholic beverages, except for specific provisions related to the number of licenses that can be issued. Importantly, once a license is granted, it cannot be transferred to a different location; however, a new applicant can receive a license for the same location if they demonstrate that all relevant taxes, fees, and contributions are up-to-date, confirmed by letters from the department of revenue and the department of unemployment assistance. If a license is no longer in use, it will be returned to the licensing authority, which can then issue it to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions. This act will become effective immediately upon its passage.
