Bill > H325

This bill adds a new definition for "Venue" in Massachusetts alcoholic beverage law, specifically defining it as an entertainment facility, property, building, structure, or place primarily designed for live sporting competitions, shows, performances, or other entertainment with an occupancy exceeding 4,900 people. The bill also introduces new regulations for alcohol sales at such venues, mandating that alcoholic beverages can only be sold and directly supervised by employees who hold an appropriate license from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. Additionally, the bill stipulates that patrons cannot access alcoholic beverages until the sale is completed and the beverage is physically served to them by a licensed employee. These provisions aim to enhance control and supervision of alcohol sales at large entertainment venues, potentially improving safety and regulatory compliance in such settings.
