Bill > S99

This bill proposes to amend Section 17 of Chapter 138 of the General Laws, which governs liquor licenses, by reducing the maximum number of liquor licenses that can be issued in a city or town. Currently, the law limits the number of licenses to "one thousand" per municipality, but this bill seeks to lower that cap to "seven hundred fifty," potentially allowing for more licenses to be distributed within that new limit. This change is part of a broader effort by the Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure to adjust the availability of liquor licenses in cities and towns.
