AI Summary

This bill proposes to increase the excise tax on alcoholic beverages in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would raise the excise tax on different types of alcoholic beverages, such as increasing the tax on beer from $3.30 to $6.60 per barrel, and increasing the tax on wine and liquor proportionally.
