An Act authorizing the town of Bourne to grant an additional license for the sale of alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises
This bill authorizes the town of Bourne to issue one extra license to Sea State Foods, LLC for selling alcohol that must be consumed off-site. The license is specific to the Cataumet Fish location and cannot be transferred to a different address, though it can be renewed by a new business at the same spot if all taxes and fees are current. If the license is not renewed or is cancelled, it must be returned to the town, and a new applicant may receive it within three years under the same conditions. The license must be issued within one year of the bill becoming effective.
