Bill > S213

This bill modifies an existing Massachusetts law regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages by removing a specific revenue requirement for certain alcohol sales establishments. Specifically, the bill eliminates the existing provision that required at least 50% of a business's revenue to be generated from grocery items in order to qualify for an alcohol sales license. By removing this language from Section 15 of chapter 138, the bill appears to be broadening the eligibility for alcohol sales licenses, potentially allowing establishments with a lower percentage of grocery sales to obtain such licenses. The change suggests a potential relaxation of prior restrictions on alcohol sales, which could provide more flexibility for businesses seeking to sell alcoholic beverages. The bill amends a previous statute from the acts of 2016, indicating an ongoing refinement of alcohol sales regulations in the state.
