An Act authorizing the City of Westfield to convert a seasonal license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk off premises to an annual license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk off premises
This bill allows the City of Westfield to change a seasonal alcohol license held by Pleasant Street Market into an annual one for selling drinks to consume off-site. The law specifically permits the business to keep this license at its current location and sets rules for transferring it to a new owner or returning it to the city if the business closes. Under the new terms, the license must remain at the same address, and any future applicant must prove they have paid all taxes and fees before receiving it. Once the annual license is active, the business must surrender its previous seasonal license for wine and malt beverages.
