An Act authorizing the city of Boston to issue additional liquor licenses.

 

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 of the city of Boston may grant: 1 additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises pursuant to section 12 of said chapter 138 to Western Host, Inc. d/b/a Element Hotel, located at 391-401 D Street in the city of Boston; and 1 additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises pursuant to section 12 of said chapter 138 to Western Host, Inc. d/b/a Aloft Hotel, located at 401-403 D Street in the city of Boston.  The licenses shall be subject to all of said chapter 138 except section 17.

The licensing authority shall not approve the transfer of any of the licenses to any other location but it may grant a license to a new applicant at the same location if the applicant files with the licensing authority a letter 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 any license granted pursuant to 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, which may then grant the license to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions as specified in this act.
