An Act re-authorizing the town of Swansea to issue additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises
This bill allows the town of Swansea to issue up to six new licenses for establishments to serve alcohol on-premises within the Swansea Mall Redevelopment Area. The licenses are restricted to specific zones outlined in Swansea's zoning map (along Route 6 and Route 118), must be marked "Swansea Mall Redevelopment Area," and cannot be transferred outside this zone. Businesses must provide proof of tax compliance to the licensing authority before receiving a license, and licenses expire or return to the town if not renewed or terminated. The law directly affects new or existing restaurants and bars seeking to operate in this designated redevelopment area.
