An effort to give Massachusetts cities greater control over liquor licensing has stalled on Beacon Hill, according to an Oct. 25 report from MassLive.
The push seeks to change a licensing system that has been in place for decades. MassLive describes the overhaul as caught in a legislative impasse, with a senior lawmaker signaling resistance to cities’ bid for more authority.
The available source summary does not identify that lawmaker, explain the specific objections or detail the proposed changes. It also provides no timetable for further legislative action.
