SB 3288 authorizes the issuance of a specific Class BV alcohol retail license for a property at 1814 Broad Street in Cranston.

The legislation also mandates that any funds raised from these plates be used for Rhode Island-based charitable organizations and requires the group to submit annual accounting reports.
