HD 2462 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the town of Swansea to grant additional alcoholic beverage licenses

This bill allows the Town of Swansea to issue up to six additional licenses for on-premises alcohol sales (under Section 12 of Chapter 138) exclusively within the Swansea Mall Redevelopment Area, as defined in the town's zoning map. It restricts these licenses to eligible establishments in that specific zone, prohibits transferring them for five years, and requires applicants to prove tax compliance with the Department of Revenue and Division of Unemployment Assistance. The licenses remain subject to all standard state regulations under Chapter 138, except as modified by this bill. This directly affects Swansea businesses seeking new alcohol licenses in the designated redevelopment zone.
