Rep. Jim Arciero

Maddy summaryThis bill allows the Town of Westford and its public schools to publish legal notices in digital formats rather than exclusively in print newspapers. The town can fulfill publication requirements by posting notices on newspaper websites, digital news platforms, statewide repositories, or a town-specific website. This legislation does not alter the existing timeframes for when these notices must be published. The provisions become effective immediately upon the bill's passage.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the Town of Westford to grant one additional license for selling all alcoholic beverages to be consumed off-premises (like in a bottle store) at 103 Main Street to two specific businesses: Main Street Convenience and Keshav Realty LLC. It overrides standard licensing rules to allow this single new license at that location, requiring the new licensee to surrender their existing wine/malt beverage license for off-premises sales. The license cannot be moved to a new location, and if canceled or unused, it must be returned to the town for potential re-granting under the same terms. This is a targeted procedural change affecting only these two businesses at one specific address.
