Bill Summary
Relative to furnishing alcoholic beverages to persons under twenty-one years of age. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing "social host law" in Massachusetts to establish civil liability for individuals who furnish alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21. The new provisions hold these individuals liable for monetary damages arising from personal injuries, deaths, or property damages that are directly caused by the prohibited conduct, even if the underage person's consumption of the alcohol is a factor. The amendments to the law apply retroactively to all pending civil actions.
