Bill > H445

This bill modifies Chapter 138 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section (25E 1/4) that addresses the transfer of rights and responsibilities among suppliers of alcoholic beverages. Specifically, the bill states that when a distiller, manufacturer, importer, or producer acquires the right to sell, ship, or distribute a particular brand of alcoholic beverage, they automatically assume all the rights, privileges, duties, and obligations of the previous owner of that brand. This provision ensures continuity and accountability in the alcoholic beverage supply chain by requiring the new brand owner to fully step into the legal position of their predecessor, which helps maintain regulatory consistency and protect the interests of wholesalers and other stakeholders in the alcoholic beverage industry.
