Maddy summaryThis bill allows the town of Weston to issue up to two new licenses for food stores to sell wine that cannot be consumed on the premises. The law permits these stores to sell wine even if they do not currently hold a standard liquor license, provided they follow existing state rules for such sales. Additionally, the bill restricts transferring these specific licenses to different locations but allows a new license to be issued at the same address if the previous one was properly paid and in good standing. Once enacted, this change expands the options for local grocery and food retailers in Weston to offer wine sales.
