AI Summary
This bill aims to restore "happy hour" to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It amends the state's liquor laws to allow licensed establishments, such as common victuallers and other licensed sellers of alcoholic beverages, to offer discounts on alcoholic drinks during a specified time period, as long as the prices are not changed during the discounted period, the discounts are not offered between 10 PM and the establishment's closing time, and the discounts are advertised at least three days in advance on the premises or the licensee's website. The bill provides a legal framework for licensed establishments to offer temporary price reductions on alcoholic beverages, which had previously been prohibited in the state.
