AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "Beverage" and "Beverage container" in the Massachusetts General Laws to include alcoholic beverages sold in miniatures, defined as any sealable bottle, can, jar, or carton with a capacity of not more than 100 milliliters that is primarily composed of glass, metal, or plastic and is produced for the purpose of containing an alcoholic beverage. This change ensures that miniature alcoholic beverage containers are subject to the same disposal requirements as other beverage containers in the state.
