AI Summary

This bill gives municipalities control over the number of liquor licenses issued in their city or town. It repeals sections of current law that previously set limits on the number of liquor licenses, and instead allows the legislative body of each municipality to determine the number of licenses issued under sections 12, 15, and 15F of chapter 138. The existing number of licenses allowed by prior law will remain in effect until changed by the legislative body under the new section 17.
