AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES
HB 6231 grants a specific exception to standard liquor licensing rules, allowing a Class B license for the property at 1441 Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence. This overrides the usual restriction that prohibits liquor licenses within 200 feet of schools or places of worship. The bill directly affects the owner of that single property by enabling a license that would otherwise be blocked under existing law. It is a targeted exception, not a broader policy change.
