An Act authorizing additional licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises in Boston.

 

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 or any other law, rule, regulation, or provision to the contrary, the licensing board for the City of Boston may grant up to three non-transferable restricted licenses for the sale of all alcohol, and up to two non-transferable restricted licenses for the sale of wines and malt beverages annually for a period of five years beginning in the year that this act has passed in each of the ZIP codes of 02119, 02121, 02122, 02124, 02125, 02126, 02128, 02131, 02132, and 02136 for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises pursuant to section 12 of said chapter 138. Licenses shall remain available until granted. A license not granted by the board in a given year by this act will be rolled over to the following year until all such licenses are distributed under this act.

Section 2.       A license granted under this act, if canceled or revoked, 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 same ZIP Code where the original license was granted.

Section 3.       The provisions of this act shall be effective upon passage.
