AI Summary

This bill requires limited liability entities and business and nonprofit corporations that are organized or registered to do business in the Commonwealth to keep all local, state, and federally issued operating licenses in a binder that must be readily accessible to the public upon verbal request during normal business hours. This means that if a business is asked by a member of the public, they must be able to show their operating licenses without needing a written request, and this must be done during the times the business is open. The bill aims to increase transparency by providing public access to these important business permits.
