Bill Summary

Relative to furnishing alcoholic beverages to persons under twenty-one years of age. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends a law in Massachusetts to hold social hosts liable in civil lawsuits for any personal injuries, deaths, or property damages that result from underage individuals being provided alcohol illegally. The bill specifies that the underage person's own consumption of the alcohol cannot be used as a defense against the social host's liability, even if the underage person's actions are considered a contributing factor. Additionally, the bill applies the changes retroactively to any pending civil cases.
