An Act relative to liquor licenses in the City of Chelsea.

 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

(a) Notwithstanding the maximum number of licenses authorized to be granted under section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws, the licensing authority of the City of Chelsea may grant the new five (5) additional full licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises under section 12 of said chapter 138, provided only to establishments that meet the City’s definition of hotels, restaurants and function halls, provided that, in the case of function halls only, the seating capacity is more than 100 persons.

(b) A license granted under this section shall not be transferable to any other person, corporation or organization and shall be deemed a Chelsea License. A transfer in violation of subsection (a) or (b) shall render the license null and void.

(c) If a license granted under this section is cancelled, revoked or no longer in use at the location of original issuance, it shall be returned physically with all of the legal rights and privileges pertaining thereto to the local licensing authority which may then grant the license to a new applicant.
