AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES

HB 7227 would allow the city of Providence to issue a Class B liquor license at 150 Broadway by exempting this specific property from standard restrictions that typically prohibit liquor sales within 200 feet of schools or places of worship. The bill targets a single location (lot 131 on tax assessors plat 68 in Providence) as described in the bill text, granting the Providence Board of Licenses authority to approve this exception. This is a narrow administrative exemption for one business address, not a change to statewide liquor licensing rules. The bill does not affect other license applications or alter existing proximity requirements elsewhere.
