Bill Summary
Authorizing the city of New Bedford to grant an additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the city of New Bedford to grant one additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages, specifically for consumption off the premises, to Cuve Wine LLC, which operates as Crush New Bedford. This means the business can sell a broader range of alcoholic drinks than it currently can, but customers cannot drink them at the store. The bill overrides a general law (section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws) that limits the number of such licenses. As a condition of receiving this new license, Cuve Wine LLC must surrender its existing license for selling only wines and malt beverages off-premises. The new license cannot be transferred to another business or entity, though it can be moved to a different location within New Bedford if the current licensee relocates. If Cuve Wine LLC no longer uses the license, it must be returned to the city's licensing authority. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
