H 5345: An Act authorizing the town of Westford to grant one additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk off the premises

This bill authorizes the town of Westford to issue an additional off-premises liquor license to a specific business owner at 103 Main Street. The law allows the town to grant this new permit while keeping the existing rules for alcohol sales in place, except for a specific state restriction that would normally prevent such an extra license. If the current license holder stops operating or fails to renew, the town can reissue the permit to a new applicant at the same location after verifying that all taxes and fees are paid. The license must be issued within one year of the bill becoming effective, and the business must return its current wine and malt beverage license to the town upon receiving this new authorization.
