AI Summary
This bill proposes to return control of liquor licenses to municipalities in Massachusetts. It amends Chapter 138 of the General Laws to allow cities and towns to determine the number of all alcoholic beverage or wine and malt beverage licenses to be issued by their local licensing authorities, as well as the process for granting additional licenses. The bill also repeals certain provisions that previously limited the number of licenses municipalities could issue. Overall, this bill aims to give more autonomy to local governments in regulating the liquor industry within their communities.
