AI Summary

This bill authorizes the city of Salem to convert 2 seasonal liquor licenses to annual licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises. The bill specifies that the converted licenses are subject to all provisions of the state's liquor laws, except for the sections on seasonal licenses. The city is prohibited from approving the transfer of the converted licenses to other locations, but may grant them to new applicants at the same locations, provided the applicants are in good standing with the state's revenue and unemployment departments. If the converted licenses are cancelled, revoked, or no longer in use, they must be returned to the city, which can then grant them to new applicants under the same conditions. The city is authorized to charge a fee for the license conversion, with any amount above the annual renewal fee to be deposited into the city's economic development account.
