(c) If a licensee terminates or fails to renew a license granted under this section or any such license is cancelled, revoked or no longer in use, it shall be returned physically, with all the legal rights, privileges and restrictions pertaining thereto, to the licensing authority, which may, after such return, then grant the license to a new applicant at the same location under the same conditions as specified in this act, otherwise such license shall dissolve. (d) The license granted under this section shall be issued within 1 year after the effective date of this act; provided, however, that if the license is originally granted within that time period, it may be granted to a new applicant under subsection (b) or (c) thereafter.
Upon the issuance of the license authorized in section 1, the licensee shall return physically, with all of the legal rights, privileges and restrictions pertaining thereto, to the licensing authority of the town of Milford, its license for the sale of wine and malt beverages not to be drunk on the premises under section 15 of chapter 138 of the General Laws.
This act shall take effect upon its passage.
