H 4663 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act authorizing the Town of Lexington ten additional licenses for the sale of wine and malt beverages

This bill allows the Town of Lexington to issue up to ten new licenses for selling wine and malt beverages for on-premises consumption. The change authorizes the town's licensing authority to grant these additional permits while keeping all other existing regulations in place. Directly affected are the town officials responsible for issuing licenses and potential business owners seeking to open new establishments in Lexington. The legislation does not alter the general laws governing alcohol sales but specifically creates an exception to the usual limit on the number of licenses the town can grant.
