An Act authorizing the Town of Athol to grant five (5) additional licenses for the sale of wine and malt beverages to be drunk off the premises

This bill allows the Town of Athol in Massachusetts to issue five extra permits for businesses that sell wine and beer for customers to take home. It overrides a state law that normally limits how many such licenses a town can grant. The new permits must still follow all other state alcohol regulations, but they are exempt from the specific numerical cap set by the existing statute.
