Summary
A message from the governor asking permission for the town of Scituate to grant four additional licenses to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises was filed with the House clerk May 30 and referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
A message from the governor asking the Massachusetts House to authorize the town of Scituate to grant four additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises was filed in the clerk’s office on Friday, May 30, at 11 a.m. and referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
The filing, announced on the House floor as coming from “her excellency, the governor,” cited the authority in section 8 of Article 89 of the amendments to the constitution as the basis for the request. The clerk read the message and informed members that it had been placed on file and would be sent to the consumer protection committee for consideration.
No debate on the substance of the request was recorded on the floor. Referral of the message means the committee will receive the governor’s communication for its review; the transcript does not record any further committee action or a timeline for consideration.
The House’s public record shows the message and its referral; next steps would occur in the Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure, which handles matters related to licensing and consumer rules.
