"SECTION 1. Chapter 3-7 of the General Laws entitled "Retail Licenses" is hereby amended by adding thereto the following section:
3-7-16.6. CLASS N NIGHTCLUB LICENSE. - (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this title to the contrary, any town or city council, by ordinance, may authorize the licensing authorities designated as having the right, power, and jurisdiction to issue licenses under this title pursuant to section 3-5-15 to designate and issue a special class of Class N nightclub licenses within its jurisdiction.
(b) A Class N license, when so authorized, shall be required by each establishment within the jurisdiction which:

(4) Shall not permit any patron who leaves the premises to be readmitted prior to closing without payment of the same admission or cover charge required of patrons entering the premises initially.
(d) The licensing authority of each town or city shall set the closing time for each establishment holding a Class N nightclub license within its jurisdiction pursuant to subsections 3-7-7(a)(1) and 3-7-7(a)(4), and notwithstanding other provisions of these subsections, an establishment holding a Class N nightclub license which is permitted to remain open until two o'clock (2:00) a.m., shall not admit patrons after one o'clock (1:00) a.m.
(e) The licensing authority of each town or city will establish the cost and duration of all Class N nightclub licenses issued by that authority.

"SECTION 1. Chapter 44-4 of the General Laws entitled "Situs and Ownership of Taxable Property" is hereby amended by adding thereto the following section.
44-4-4.2 LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS TAXED TO TENANT OF QUASI-PUBLIC CORPORATION. - Commencing with taxes assessed on December 31, 2001, whenever real property is owned by a quasi-public corporation and leased to a tenant which is engaged in any business for profit, and such property is located at an airport terminal building with more than ten thousand (10,000) air carrier aircraft operations annually, any tax on leasehold improvements shall be paid by the tenant, who, for the purposes of taxation, shall be deemed to be the owner of any such leasehold improvements, regardless of whether the improvements become state property, unless the improvements or the tenant or subtenant are otherwise exempt from taxation.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon passage and shall apply to taxes assessed commencing on December 31, 2001. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge to be invalid or unconstitutional the application of section 1 of this act to periods prior to the enactment of this act, this act shall nevertheless be effective for dates of assessment occurring on or after passage of this act."
