    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

 

SECTION 1. Notwithstanding sections 12 and 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws or any other general or special law to the contrary, the licensing authority of the town of Amesbury may grant 2 additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises, 1 to Logan’s Dad Inc. d/b/a The Roobar at 36 Main street and 1 to The Buck Company LLC d/b/a Buck’s Expresso and Wine Bar at 32 Elm street.  The licensing authority shall not approve the transfer of such licenses to any other location.

 

The licenses may be re-issued by said authority at the same location if an applicant for the license files with the licensing authority a letter in writing from the department of revenue indicating that the license is in good standing with the department and that all applicable taxes have been paid.

 

If any license granted under this section is cancelled, revoked or no longer in use, such license shall be returned physically, with all of the legal rights, privileges and restrictions pertaining thereto, to the licensing authority.  Notwithstanding section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws or any other general or specific law to the contrary, the licensing authority may then grant the license to a new applicant at the same location and under the same conditions as specified in the preceding paragraph.

 

SECTION 2.  This act shall take effect upon its passage.
