This bill allows the town of Bolton to issue licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages, overriding specific sections of the General Laws. Specifically, it permits the town to bypass sections 11 and 11A of chapter 138 while still adhering to the remaining provisions of that chapter, particularly section 12.
By enabling the issuance of these licenses, the bill aims to provide greater flexibility for the town in regulating alcoholic beverage sales, while still maintaining compliance with the broader framework established in chapter 138. This legislative change is intended to support local governance and address the unique needs of the Bolton community regarding alcohol licensing.
