AN ACT RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES -- LICENSES GENERALLY

This bill authorizes the town of Scituate to issue a total of three Class A liquor licenses, regardless of the town's population. It amends state law by adding a specific provision that overrides the standard licensing limits for Scituate, allowing the town to grant these licenses even if its population would normally restrict the number. The bill directly affects the town of Scituate and the state's Department of Business Regulation, which oversees liquor licensing. It does not change how other towns or cities issue licenses, but only creates an exception for Scituate. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage.
