Bill Summary
That the town of Arlington be authorized to place upon a town ballot a question to increase the number of licenses for all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises in said town. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill allows the select board of Arlington to place a question on the 2026 town ballot to increase the number of licenses for selling packaged alcoholic beverages (alcohol not to be consumed on-site) from 6 to 8 licenses. If a majority of voters approve the ballot measure, the town will be authorized to issue 2 additional licenses for selling packaged alcoholic beverages. These new licenses would be subject to the regulations outlined in Chapter 138 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which governs the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the state. The bill would take effect immediately upon its passage, giving the town the potential to expand its alcohol sales licensing in the 2026 election cycle.
