An Act relative to extending the timeframe within which the town of Southbridge may grant additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises

This bill (H 5096) extends the deadline for the town of Southbridge to issue additional licenses allowing on-premises sales of all alcoholic beverages. It amends a 2022 law by changing the expiration date from December 31, 2025, to January 2, 2029. The change directly affects Southbridge town officials, giving them an additional three years to grant new licenses for bars and restaurants. The bill only modifies the existing deadline without altering licensing rules or creating new requirements.
