AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- LICENSES GENERALLY

SB 1124 authorizes the town of Scituate to issue up to three Class A liquor licenses for businesses serving alcohol, directly affecting Scituate's local government and any businesses seeking such licenses. The bill amends existing law to override Scituate's standard population-based limits for Class A licenses, allowing exactly three licenses regardless of the town's population size. This provision specifically targets Scituate, removing the usual requirement that Class A licenses be limited to one per 6,000 residents (or one per 4,000 in towns under 20,000 residents). The change would take effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
