An Act authorizing the town of Berlin to grant up to two additional liquor licenses.

 

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 Berlin, the licensing authority of the town of Berlin may grant up to two additional licenses for the sale at retail of all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises under Section 15 of said Chapter 138. The licensees shall comply with such requirements and conditions as the licensing authority shall deem appropriate. The licenses shall be subject to all of said Chapter 138, except said Section 17 relative to the number of licenses that may be granted. Either license may be transferred to a new applicant 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 licenses shall be subject to all other provisions of said Chapter 138.

If either 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.

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