The bill amends Section 3-7-19 of the General Laws in Chapter 3-7, titled "Retail Licenses," to provide specific provisions regarding the issuance of Class B liquor licenses in the city of Providence. It allows the board of licenses in Providence to exempt a proposed retailer Class B license intended for the property located at 150 Broadway, Plat 25, Lot 143, from the existing regulations concerning proximity to schools and places of worship. This exemption is granted after application and is not subject to the standard objections that would typically prevent the issuance of such licenses based on proximity to these sensitive locations. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
