An Act removing the seating capacity requirements for licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises in the town of Belmont
This bill (HD 5523) removes specific seat limits for alcohol licenses in Belmont. It eliminates minimum and maximum seating requirements previously set for certain licenses under Chapters 128 (1997), 14 (2014), 388 (2010), and 15 (2014). License holders can now operate with any number of seats, replacing prior rules like "60-250 seats" (Chapter 388) and "39-125 seats" (Chapter 15). The change directly affects bars and restaurants in Belmont holding these specific licenses, allowing greater flexibility in venue size.
