AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate the storage of alcoholic beverages. Specifically, it removes the provision that limits the number of permits for storing alcoholic beverages to no more than three per city or town. Additionally, the bill includes a new section that states that if any provision of Chapter 138 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which covers the regulation of alcoholic beverages, is found to be invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining provisions should be interpreted in a way that limits, rather than expands, commerce in alcoholic beverages and enhances strict regulatory control over taxation, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages through the three-tier regulatory system imposed by the Massachusetts liquor control act.
