S 2497 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act authorizing the town of Provincetown to grant 5 additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises

This bill (SD 2837) allows the town of Provincetown to issue 5 additional licenses for businesses selling alcoholic beverages to be consumed off-premises (like takeout or delivery), not on-site. It directly affects Provincetown's local government, which must approve the licenses, and businesses seeking to sell alcohol for off-site consumption. The key mechanism is expanding the town's existing license quota by five, following local approval as required by the petition. The bill does not change alcohol consumption rules but increases the number of permitted off-premise sales locations.
