An Act extending the timeframe for the issuance of licenses granted pursuant to Chapter 46 of the Acts of 2020 in the city of Easthampton
This bill extends the deadline for issuing certain licenses in the city of Easthampton from three years after the 2020 act took effect to January 1, 2030. It directly affects the local licensing authority responsible for processing applications under Chapter 46 of the 2020 Acts. By amending the existing timeline, the legislation allows the city more time to review and grant these specific permits without requiring new laws. The change applies only to Easthampton and does not alter the requirements for obtaining the licenses, only the date by which they must be issued.
