AI Summary

This bill exempts certain fraternal organizations from the tax on the sale of alcoholic beverages. Specifically, it amends the existing Massachusetts law to exempt sales of alcoholic beverages made to members of the organization and their guests in a lounge or similar area reserved for their exclusive use, as well as sales made at special events, gatherings, dinners, and ceremonies of the organization, as long as the only attendees are members and their guests. This change is intended to provide tax relief for these types of fraternal organizations.
