Bill > S1860

This bill amends Chapter 138 of the Massachusetts General Laws to update the excise tax rates on various alcoholic beverages sold or imported into the Commonwealth. The bill establishes new tax rates for malt beverages, cider, still wine, sparkling wine, and other alcoholic beverages based on their alcohol content. It also requires manufacturers, wholesalers, importers, and certain licensees to pay the excise tax and keep detailed records of their sales. The revenue from the excise tax will be allocated, with 9% going to the Commonwealth's Pension Liability Fund, 50% for public health and wellness programs, and the remaining balance to the General Fund.
