The bill proposes to grant the town of Oxford, Massachusetts, two additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be consumed off the premises. This is a deviation from the existing regulations outlined in section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws, allowing the town's licensing authority to issue one additional license under specific conditions. The new licenses will be subject to the provisions of chapter 138, except for the stipulations in section 17.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that these licenses cannot be transferred to another location but can be granted to a new applicant at the same location if they provide proof of good standing from the department of revenue and the department of unemployment assistance. If a license is terminated, not renewed, or otherwise becomes inactive, it must be returned to the licensing authority, which can then reissue it to a new applicant within three years. The licenses must be issued within three years of the act's passage, and if granted within that timeframe, they can be transferred to new applicants thereafter under the specified conditions.
