H 5097 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the city of Salem to convert seasonal licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises to annual licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises

H 5097 converts two specific seasonal alcohol licenses for on-site consumption to annual licenses for two Salem businesses: Amazing Pizza LLC at 62 Wharf Street and Maitland Farm LLC at 84 Derby Street. The bill allows Salem's licensing authority to make this change, requiring tax compliance letters from state departments before any new applicant can receive the license at the same location. If either license ends, it must be returned to the city for potential reissuance within 3 years under the same terms. This bill applies exclusively to these two businesses and their exact locations, with no broader effect on other licenses.
