AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES

HB 6230 authorizes the issuance of a Class BV liquor license for a specific property at 865 Westminster Street in Providence, exempting it from standard restrictions that typically prohibit liquor licenses within 200 feet of schools or places of worship. This targeted exception applies only to the business located at that address, allowing it to operate under a retail liquor license despite proximity to protected areas. The bill amends existing law to create this specific exemption for the property, without altering the general licensing rules for other locations. It is a procedural bill focused solely on this single location, not a broad policy change.
