Operative words

The provision in R.I. Gen. Laws § 3-7-7 requiring a Class B licensee to sell beer and wine only for consumption on the premises is hereby suspended. A Class B licensee will be permitted to sell up to 2 bottles of wine and 144 ounces of beer in original factory sealed containers, with take-out food orders...

Enforcement

Notes

Confirms the premise of the closure: on-premises service was prohibited, so the State converted licensees to take-out.
