Bill Summary

That the town of Canton be authorized to issue additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages and for the sale of wine and malt beverages not to be drunk on the premises. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Canton to issue up to two additional licenses for businesses to sell alcoholic beverages, including wine and malt beverages, but these beverages cannot be consumed on the premises where they are sold. This is a change from existing laws, specifically sections 15 and 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws, which govern the sale of alcoholic beverages. The town's licensing authority, which is the board of selectmen in this case, will be responsible for determining if applicants meet the criteria for these new licenses and will also have the power to cancel or revoke any license that has not been actively used to serve the public for a continuous period of six months.
