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: 

(a)Notwithstanding section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws or any other general or special law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the licensing authority of the town of Westford may grant one (1) additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be consumed on premises under section 12 of said chapter 138 to Fox River, LLC or a related entity, or its successor or assign, to be exercised at and located at 0 Littleton Road, Westford. A license granted under this section shall be subject to all of said chapter 138 except said section 17.                                                                                                                                                            

(b)Once issued, the licensing authority shall not approve the transfer of the license issued under this section to any other location, but it may grant the 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.

(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 licensing authority, which may then grant the license to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions as specified in this section.
