AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES

HB 8466 authorizes the issuance of a new Class BV alcohol retail license for a specific property at 1706 Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence. The bill amends state laws to allow this exception to rules that typically restrict alcohol sales near schools and places of worship. It also grants local licensing boards in Providence, Newport, Warren, and Bristol the power to approve similar exceptions in designated areas or for specific lots.
