AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 138 of the General Laws to require the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) to conduct fingerprint-based background checks on individuals applying for ABCC licenses, including applicants, individuals with beneficial interests, officers, directors, stockholders, and license managers. The bill also allows the ABCC to conduct fingerprint-based checks for other ABCC licenses not under Sections 12 or 15.

The Department of Criminal Justice Information Services will disseminate the background check results to the ABCC in accordance with criminal offender record information laws.
