An Act authorizing the town of Uxbridge to grant 2 additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk off the premises

This law allows the town of Uxbridge to issue two new permits for businesses to sell alcohol for off-premises consumption. Specifically, it authorizes licenses for a business at 30 Douglas Street and another at 262 Millville Road, bypassing the usual state restriction on the number of such licenses in the town. The permits come with strict rules, including a ban on transferring the license to a different location and requirements that the business maintain good standing with tax and employment agencies. If a business closes or fails to renew its permit, the town can reissue it to a new applicant at the same address within three years.
