AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 138 of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow owners or operators of vessels carrying passengers and operating out of Massachusetts ports who hold a license under this chapter to provide on-board tastings of wine and malt beverages. The bill specifies that the tastings must be limited to one ounce per serving of wine and two ounces per serving of malt beverages, and that food must be served in conjunction with the tastings. The bill also allows these licensed vessel operators to provide free on-premises samples of alcoholic beverages that are available for sale on the vessel, with the same serving size limitations, as long as they do not solicit orders for off-premises consumption.
