AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- RETAIL LICENSES
06/26/2026 Effective without Governor's signature
Summary
The bill bars the issuance of new Class B, C, N, I (and certain other) alcohol retail licenses within 200 feet of any school or place of worship, and allows landowners within that distance to object. In East Providence, the buffer for Class A licenses is extended to 500 feet. It also gives city and town licensing boards the power to exempt specific areas from these rules.
