AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES
Effective without Governor's signature
Summary
The law tightens rules for issuing Class B, C, N, I, and certain other alcohol retail licenses by prohibiting them within 200 feet of schools, places of worship, or where a nearby landowner objects, and within 500 feet in East Providence for Class A licenses. It also grants municipalities the ability to exempt specific parcels or districts after application, and it authorizes a new Class B license for 102 Granite Street in Westerly. The changes aim to limit alcohol outlet density near sensitive sites while giving local authorities flexibility.
