HD 1935 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to establishing a commission to study municipal licenses.

This bill creates a commission to study how Massachusetts municipalities handle business licensing processes. The commission, including representatives from government, business associations, and municipal groups, will hold public hearings and gather input from businesses on streamlining these requirements. It will submit a report with recommendations to the legislature by March 2027, but does not change existing laws or directly affect businesses until those recommendations are enacted. The study focuses on simplifying local permit systems for businesses operating across Massachusetts municipalities.
