Bill Summary

Relative to farmer-wineries license fees. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill proposes several changes to the laws governing farmer-wineries in Massachusetts. It amends the annual license fee structure for winegrowers based on their wine gallonage production, allowing for lower fees for smaller producers. The bill also grants farmer-wineries the ability to transport and deliver alcoholic beverages anywhere in the commonwealth and provides them with a direct shipment license without an additional fee. Additionally, the bill exempts farmer-wineries that produce less than 20,000 gallons of wine per year from certain tax filing requirements, allowing them to file a single annual return.
