An Act authorizing the town of Marion to grant an additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises

This bill authorizes the town of Marion to issue a special license to J. Sull Wine for selling alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption. The license is specific to this business location and cannot be transferred to a different address, though it can be renewed or reassigned to a new applicant at the same spot if tax and fee obligations are met. If the license is not used or is cancelled, it must be returned to the town, and a new license for the same location can only be issued within three years. The act requires the town to issue the license within one year of the bill's effective date.
