The bill amends Section 3-7-19 of the General Laws in Chapter 3-7, titled "Retail Licenses," to establish new regulations regarding the issuance of certain retail licenses, specifically Class B and Class B-H licenses. The bill allows the board of licenses of the town of South Kingstown to exempt from the provisions of this section any proposed retailer Class B or Class B-H license intended to be located at 349 Main Street, Plat 56-3, Lot 48 of the applicable town of South Kingstown tax assessment map. This exemption allows the local board to bypass the general restrictions that would otherwise apply, including objections from adjoining property owners and proximity to schools and places of worship. The legislation emphasizes the authority of local boards to grant exemptions for specific locations, thereby potentially enhancing local business opportunities. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
