The bill amends Section 3-7-19 of the General Laws in Chapter 3-7, "Retail Licenses," to address the issuance of certain retail licenses in relation to their proximity to schools and places of worship. It specifies that Class B licenses cannot be issued if an objection is filed by the owner of the majority of land within 200 feet of the proposed location and prohibits issuance within 200 feet of any public, private, or parochial school or place of worship.
The bill also grants the board of licenses of the city of Providence the authority to exempt a proposed Class B license intended to be located at 1039 Douglas Avenue, Plat 102, Lot 1 of the applicable city of Providence tax assessment map, from these proximity restrictions upon application.
The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
