H 5548 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the town of Weston to grant an additional license for sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises

This bill authorizes the town of Weston to issue one extra liquor license specifically to Weston Breakfast, LLC for its location at 31 Center Street. The new license allows the sale of all alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption in the dining room and other areas approved by the town's licensing authority. While the license follows standard state rules, it cannot be transferred to a different location, though it can be reassigned to a new business at the same address if all taxes and fees are current. The license must be issued within two years of the bill's effective date and will expire if not renewed or properly returned to the town.
