AI Summary
This bill grants municipalities greater control over the number and types of liquor licenses issued within their jurisdictions. Specifically, the bill allows cities and towns that have voted to grant liquor licenses to determine the number of licenses issued under sections 12 and 15 of Chapter 138 of the General Laws. The bill also allows these municipalities to grant seasonal licenses and licenses to farmer-winery license holders in numbers determined by the local legislative body. Additionally, the bill repeals sections 17A, 7B, and 17C of Chapter 138, and specifies that the number of licenses allowed by prior law shall remain in force until changed by the local legislative body under Section 17 of Chapter 138.
