An Act authorizing the town of Milford to grant an additional liquor license.

 

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.   Notwithstanding Section 17, of chapter 138 of the General Laws, the licensing authority for the Town of Milford may grant one (1) additional license for the sale of malt beverages and wine not to be drunk on premises under section 15 of said Chapter 138, to Water Street Meat Market, LLC of 3 Water Street, Milford, Worcester County, Massachusetts for use in connection with premises situated at 3 Water Street, in said Town of Milford.  Said license shall be subject to all of the other provisions of said Chapter 138. Notwithstanding any general or special law or any rule or regulation to the contrary, the licensing authority shall not approve the transfer of the license to any other location.  The license may be re-issued by the licensing authority at the same location if an applicant for the license files with the licensing authority a letter in writing from the department of revenue indicating that the license is in good standing with the department and that all applicable taxes have been paid. 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 licensing authority.  Notwithstanding said section 17 of said chapter 138 or any other general or special law to the contrary, the licensing authority may then grant the license to a new applicant at the same location and under the same conditions as specified in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 2.  This act shall take effect upon passage.
