Bill Summary
Relative to alcohol sales on Thanksgiving. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to modify an existing Massachusetts law regarding alcohol sales on Thanksgiving. Specifically, the bill removes the phrase "Thanksgiving day" from Section 33 of Chapter 138 in the General Laws, which appears to currently restrict alcohol sales on Thanksgiving. By eliminating this language, the bill would likely allow businesses with appropriate alcohol licenses to sell alcoholic beverages on Thanksgiving Day, effectively lifting a previous prohibition. This change would provide more flexibility for businesses in the hospitality and retail sectors by removing a holiday-specific limitation on alcohol sales.
