Summary

The bill lets the city of Salem convert one seasonal liquor‑on‑premise license for Amazing Pizza and one for Maitland Farm into annual licenses, overriding certain state provisions. It limits the license to the existing location but allows a new applicant at that site if tax and unemployment‑insurance compliance letters are provided. The change gives the businesses longer‑term stability while allowing the city to collect a conversion fee.
