The proposed bill aims to increase the number of all-alcohol licenses available for restaurants in the town of Arlington, Massachusetts. Specifically, it seeks to authorize the select board to place a question on the official ballot during the town's annual meeting in 2027, asking voters whether they approve granting an additional 10 licenses. This would raise the total number of licenses from 20 to 30 for establishments that serve all alcoholic beverages and have a seating capacity of at least 20 persons.

If the majority of voters approve the measure, the town will be allowed to increase the number of licenses while still adhering to the other provisions of chapter 138 of the General Laws, except for those that limit the number of licenses or dictate the wording of the ballot question. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
