Bill > S162

This bill aims to enhance diversity in the awarding of liquor licenses in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: 1. Allowing individuals with an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) to apply for and hold liquor licenses, in addition to those with a social security number. This expands eligibility to non-citizens who are residents of Massachusetts. 2. Modifying the requirements for corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships to hold various types of liquor licenses, such as requiring a majority of the directors/members to be Massachusetts residents and hold a social security number or ITIN. 3. Clarifying the qualifications for non-citizen licensees to appoint a manager or principal representative who holds a social security number or ITIN. Overall, the bill seeks to make the process of obtaining liquor licenses more accessible and inclusive for diverse applicants in Massachusetts.
