HD 4508 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the town of Dartmouth to grant an additional license for the sale of all alcoholic beverages not to be drunk on the premises

HD 4508 authorizes the town of Dartmouth to issue one additional license allowing businesses to sell all types of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption (like takeout or retail sales). This bill directly affects Dartmouth town officials, who must approve the license, and local businesses seeking to expand alcohol sales beyond on-site consumption. The key provision is granting the town the authority to issue this specific additional license for off-premises alcohol sales. The bill requires local approval from Dartmouth's governing body before implementation. (Note: This is a local licensing bill, not a statewide policy change.)
