Massachusetts H414 amends the definition of outdoor table service and allows local licensing authorities to approve changes for outdoor alcohol.

Massachusetts H414 amends the definition of "outdoor table service" to include restaurant service that is served to seated diners outside the restaurant building envelope. The bill also allows local licensing authorities to approve changes in the description of the licensed premises for outdoor alcohol service. Existing license holders can receive an amended license without further review or approval from the commission, provided the commission is notified. The commission retains its enforcement authority over amended licenses.
