Bill Summary
For legislation to further define miniature beverage containers under the "bottle bill", so-called. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to further define "miniature" beverage containers under the "bottle bill" legislation in Massachusetts. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) Expanding the definition of "beverage" to include alcoholic beverages sold in miniatures, in addition to soda, mineral water, and beer/malt beverages. 2) Defining "miniature" as any sealable bottle, can, jar, or carton primarily made of glass, metal, or plastic with a capacity of no more than 100 milliliters, and produced to contain an alcoholic beverage. This change would bring miniature alcoholic beverage containers under the scope of the bottle bill, which requires a deposit to be paid and refunded upon return of the container.
