An Act to reinforce municipal territory authority

Maddy summaryThis bill clarifies that Cohasset's authority over its own territorial waters is limited to the town's boundaries and does not extend to other municipalities' waters. It amends a 1953 law by removing the phrase "within the territorial limits of the commonwealth" and replacing it with "within the sole limits of Cohasset's authority over its own territorial waters." The change specifically affects Cohasset's jurisdiction regarding coastal waters and ensures municipal authority does not overlap with neighboring towns. It is a technical clarification of existing law, not a new policy.

An Act related to granting three additional liquor licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk off the premises in the town of Marshfield and three additional licenses for alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises in the town of Marshfield

Maddy summaryThis bill allows the town of Marshfield to issue three additional licenses for businesses to serve alcohol for on-site consumption (like restaurants) and three more for off-site sales (like liquor stores). To qualify, applicants must provide proof they're up-to-date with taxes from the Department of Revenue and Unemployment Assistance. Licenses for on-site drinking must be used in designated dining areas, and all licenses must be issued within four years of the bill's effective date. The town retains authority to reclaim unused licenses and reissue them under the same rules.
