An Act relative to creating uniform standards for section 12 and 15 license applications

This bill modifies Massachusetts laws to allow individuals with felony convictions to apply for certain alcoholic beverage licenses if their crime occurred more than ten years ago. It requires licensing authorities to review an applicant's rehabilitation and decide whether to reject them automatically based on their past conviction. The changes directly affect people seeking Section 12 and Section 15 liquor licenses who have older felony records, giving them a chance to prove they have reformed.
