An Act authorizing the city of Boston to grant one additional license for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises.

 

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, the licensing board 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.  The license granted pursuant to this act shall be: (i) restricted to the so called Charles River Speedway Administration Building consisting of various buildings located at the intersection of Soldiers Field Road, Western Avenue, North Arsenal Street, and Leo M. Birmingham Parkway in the Brighton section of the city of Boston; (ii) clearly marked "Speedway restricted" on its face; and (iii) subject to all of said chapter 138 except said section 17.

(b) The licensing board shall not approve the transfer of the license granted pursuant to this act to a location outside of the Charles River Speedway Administration Building Development, but it may grant the license to a new applicant within the Charles River Speedway Administration Building Development if the applicant files with the licensing board a letter from the department of revenue and a letter from the department of unemployment assistance indicating that the license is in good standing with those departments and that all applicable taxes, fees and contributions have been paid.

(c) If the license granted pursuant to this act is cancelled, revoked or no longer in use, the license shall be returned physically, with all of the legal rights, privileges and restrictions pertaining thereto, to the licensing board and the licensing board may then grant that license to a new applicant in the city’s Charles River Speedway Administration Building Development under the same conditions as specified in this act.

SECTION 2.  This act shall take effect upon its passage.
