AI Summary
This bill modernizes business licensing by allowing local authorities in cities or towns serviced by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), a public agency that operates public transportation in the Boston metropolitan area, to exempt certain businesses from specific licensing requirements, including innholders and common victuallers that do not serve alcohol, automatic amusement devices, billiard or bowling establishments, and fortune tellers, with the discretion and subject to local rules and regulations for some of these exemptions. Additionally, mayors or selectmen can set maximum capacity limits for establishments, below which certain licensing requirements will not apply.
