AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES

Summary

The bill stops most new alcohol retail licenses from being issued if a property owner within 200 feet objects or if the site is within 200 feet of any public, private, or parochial school or place of worship, and it raises the buffer to 500 feet for Class A licenses in East Providence. Existing licenses issued before 1978 and certain transfers are exempt, and local licensing boards can grant exemptions for specific areas named in the law.
