AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- LICENSES GENERALLY
HB 6333 authorizes the town of Scituate to issue up to three Class A liquor licenses, overriding its usual population-based licensing limits. This change directly affects Scituate's local government and future license applicants by allowing a fixed number of licenses regardless of the town's population size. The bill amends existing law to specifically exempt Scituate from standard restrictions that typically limit Class A licenses to one per 6,000 residents (or one per 4,000 in smaller towns).
