Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

SECTION 1.

     (c) If the license granted under this section is cancelled, revoked or no longer in use, it shall be returned physically with all of the legal rights, privileges and restrictions pertaining thereto, to the Salisbury licensing authority, which may then grant the license to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions as specified in this act.
