The bill, titled "An Act authorizing the town of Ludlow to grant an additional all alcohol license for on-premises consumption," allows the town of Ludlow to issue three additional all-alcohol licenses, despite the restrictions outlined in section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws. The new licenses will still be subject to the other provisions of chapter 138, and the licensing authority will have the ability to approve the transfer of these licenses to different locations, provided that the new applicants meet certain requirements, including submitting letters from the department of revenue and the department of unemployment assistance confirming good standing.

Additionally, if any of the licenses are canceled, revoked, or no longer in use, they must be returned to the licensing authority, which can then reissue the license to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions. This bill aims to enhance the local economy by allowing more establishments in Ludlow to serve alcohol, thereby potentially increasing business opportunities in the area. The act will take effect immediately upon its passage.
