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 relative to the number of licenses that may be granted in the town of Wenham, the licensing authority of the town of Wenham may grant 1 license for the sale at retail of wine and malt alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises under section 15 of said chapter 138 to Grassy Roots, LLC, d/b/a Grassy Roots, located at 152 Main Street in said town; provided, however, that the business shall have no more than 200 square feet of retail space. The licensee shall comply with such requirements and conditions as the licensing authority shall deem appropriate. The license shall be subject to all of said chapter 138, except said section 17 relative to the number of licenses that may be granted. The license shall be nontransferable to any other location, but it may be reissued 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. The license shall be subject to all other provisions of said chapter 138.
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 which may then grant the license to a new applicant at, the same location under the same terms and conditions as specified in this section.
