Wayland could grant 10 alcohol licenses in three designated areas

Wayland could approve 10 licenses for serving all types of alcohol on site. Licenses would be limited to six in Route 20, two in East Wayland, and two in Cochituate. The town could set conditions for each license. Service would be limited to restaurant dining rooms and other public areas the licensing authority approves in writing. The act would take effect upon passage, starting the three-year window for issuing licenses for the first time.

Wayland could grant a license to another applicant only within its original area. Unused or ended licenses would have to be returned to the town. Applicants would need letters from state tax and unemployment agencies confirming that the license meets their requirements and all required taxes, fees, and unemployment payments have been paid. Licenses first issued within three years after the act takes effect could be reassigned after that deadline.
