The bill amends Section 3-7-19 of the General Laws in Chapter 3-7, "Retail Licenses," to allow for the issuance of a Class B liquor license specifically for the property located at 1039 Douglas Avenue in the city of Providence. It grants the board of licenses in Providence the authority to exempt this proposed Class B license from the existing proximity restrictions that typically apply to the issuance of retail licenses, particularly those related to objections from adjoining property owners and proximity to schools and places of worship. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
