An Act authorizing the town of Sudbury to grant an 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.Notwithstanding section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws, the licensing authority of the town of Sudbury may grant an additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises pursuant to section 12 of said chapter 138, to the holder of a common victualler license for a sit-down restaurant located only in Buildings 2,3,4 or 5 within the development known as Meadow Walk, 526-534 Boston Post Road, Sudbury, upon approval of and under conditions set by the licensing authority of the town of Sudbury. A license granted pursuant to this act shall be subject to said chapter 138 except said section 17.

SECTION 2.The licensing authority shall not approve the transfer of the license granted pursuant to this act to a location outside of the Meadow Walk development, but it may grant such license to a new applicant within said development if the applicant files with the licensing authority 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.

SECTION 3.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 authority and the licensing authority may then grant the license to a new applicant in the Meadow Walk development under the same conditions as specified in this act.

SECTION 4. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
