An Act authorizing the town of Fairhaven to grant an additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises
This law authorizes the town of Fairhaven to issue one extra license for selling alcohol to be consumed on-site to a specific business called Southcoast Pickleball LLC. The new license allows the business to serve all types of alcoholic beverages in its dining room, while requiring it to return its existing license for wine and malt beverages to the town. The license cannot be transferred to a different location, but it can be renewed or given to a new owner at the same address if they have paid all required taxes and fees. The town must issue this new license within one year of the law taking effect, and the business must surrender its old license once the new one is active.
