Bill > H415

This bill proposes to ban the purchase and consumption of any products made in Russia within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Specifically, the legislation would insert a new section into Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws that prohibits all consumers and entities in the state from buying or using products originating from Russia, effective immediately upon the bill's passage. The ban appears to be a broad, comprehensive measure that would apply to all Russian-made goods across all sectors and industries. While the bill does not provide detailed exceptions or enforcement mechanisms, it represents a direct legislative action aimed at economically isolating Russia, likely in response to geopolitical tensions or specific international conflicts. The language suggests a zero-tolerance approach to Russian product consumption within Massachusetts, signaling a strong stance against Russian economic interests.
