Bill > H4089

This bill authorizes the town of Milton to grant five additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be consumed on-premises, which is an exception to existing state alcohol licensing laws. Specifically, the bill allows the town's licensing authority to issue these new licenses despite previous restrictions in Massachusetts General Laws, but with important limitations: the licenses can only be used in the dining room of a licensed restaurant and in other areas deemed appropriate by the local licensing authority. These licenses are for "all alcoholic beverages," meaning they would permit the sale of beer, wine, and spirits to be consumed on-site. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, and appears to be a local measure designed to provide more flexibility for restaurants in Milton seeking to serve alcohol. The bill requires local approval, which has already been received, indicating support from the local community for expanding alcohol service opportunities.
