Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill makes changes to how licenses are transferred and reissued, requiring applicants to show taxes and fees are paid. It also allows food stores in Westwood, defined as large grocery stores meeting specific product requirements, to obtain licenses for selling alcoholic beverages not for on-site consumption. These food stores would be subject to general alcohol sales laws, with the town's select board determining eligibility.
