The City of Boston has officially adopted new regulations opening the door for certain beer and wine license holders to upgrade to all-alcohol licenses.

On January 8, the Boston Licensing Board established the framework for how these upgrades will work, covering everything from the application process and community review to transferability, public need, and what happens if an upgraded license is later downgraded or no longer in use.

With these rules now in effect, eligible restaurants and hospitality businesses have a clear, immediate path to expand their beverage programs while preserving Boston’s longstanding regulatory structure.

From new data showing how frequently teenagers are already using AI chatbots, to litigation over AI notetakers in virtual meetings, to the growing gap between how workplaces and universities approach AI adoption, there’s a lot for employers to be thinking about. And as always, the joke and song of the month!
