AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate alcoholic beverage suppliers' ability to refuse to sell brand items. It amends Chapter 138 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which governs the regulation of alcoholic beverages, by adding a new section that states that if any provision of the chapter is determined to be invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining provisions shall be construed to further limit, rather than expand, commerce in alcoholic beverages and to enhance strict regulatory control over the taxation, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages through the three-tier regulatory system imposed by the Massachusetts liquor control act.
