Bill Summary

Relative to inducements in the purchase and sale of alcoholic beverages. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to restrict the practice of inducements in the purchase and sale of alcoholic beverages. It amends Section 25A of Chapter 138 of the General Laws to prohibit licensees (i.e., alcohol producers, distributors, or retailers) from providing money or other valuable items to persuade or influence a person to purchase, contract for the purchase, or refrain from purchasing a particular brand or kind of alcoholic beverage. The bill also prohibits licensees from furnishing a retailer with human resources to perform merchandising or other functions, with the expectation of stocking, rotation, or pricing services of the industry member's own product. This is intended to prevent licensees from using inducements to influence the purchasing decisions of consumers or retailers.
