H 3894 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the town of Cohasset to issue five additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises in the town of Cohasset

HD 4301 allows the town of Cohasset to issue five additional licenses for businesses to serve all types of alcoholic beverages on-site (like bars and restaurants). This change requires prior approval from Cohasset's local government, which was already secured through a town vote. The bill specifically expands the number of licenses available for establishments where customers consume alcohol on the premises, without altering state alcohol laws.
