AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES

HB 8435 amends state laws to allow the issuance of a Class B alcohol retail license for a specific property at 102 Granite Street in Westerly. The bill modifies existing rules that typically prohibit new liquor licenses near schools, churches, or when neighboring landowners object, creating a specific exception for this location. By updating the General Laws, the legislation enables the local licensing authority to approve the sale of alcoholic beverages at this particular site despite potential proximity restrictions.
