Bill Summary

Providing for earlier alcohol sales to be drunk on premises on Sundays

AI Summary

This bill, titled "A Beautiful Brunch Act," proposes to amend existing Massachusetts law, specifically Section 33 of Chapter 138 of the General Laws, which governs alcohol sales. The key provision is the change from the current 10:00 AM start time for selling alcohol to be consumed on the premises on Sundays to an earlier start time of 8:00 AM. This change aims to allow establishments to serve alcoholic beverages earlier on Sundays, potentially benefiting businesses like restaurants that offer brunch services. The act will become effective immediately upon its passage.
