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 M.G.L. c. 138 section 17, the licensing authority of the Town of Uxbridge may grant 4 additional licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk off the premises under section 15 of said chapter 138 to Nady Gergous (package store) at 30 Douglas St. Uxbridge and to Big Y Foods, Inc. (grocery store) at 262 Millville Road/240 S. Main St. Uxbridge.

b. If a licensee terminates or fails to renew a license granted under this act or any such license 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 and under the same conditions as specified in this act.

c. The licenses granted under this act shall be issued within 3 years after the effective date of this act; provided, however, that if the license is originally granted within that time period, it may be granted to a new applicant under subsection (b) anytime thereafter.
