Bill Summary
Relative to local control of liquor licenses. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill provides municipal control of liquor licenses. It amends Chapter 138 of the General Laws to give cities and towns the authority to determine the number of liquor licenses issued within their jurisdiction, including the ability to grant seasonal licenses and licenses to holders of farmer-winery licenses. The bill also repeals Sections 17A, 7B, and 17C of Chapter 138, which previously regulated certain aspects of liquor licensing. The existing number of licenses allowed by prior law will remain in force until changed by the legislative body of the city or town.
