AI Summary
This bill aims to further define "miniature" beverage containers under the existing "bottle bill" legislation. The key provisions are as follows:
1. The bill amends the definition of "Beverage" to include alcoholic beverages sold in miniature, in addition to soda water, mineral water, beer, and malt beverages.
2. The bill also amends the definition of "Beverage container" to include miniatures, which are defined as any sealable bottle, can, jar, or carton primarily composed of glass, metal, or plastic, with a capacity of no more than 100 milliliters, and produced for the purpose of containing an alcoholic beverage.
The bottle bill, also known as the "Beverage Container Redemption Law," is a Massachusetts state law that requires a deposit on certain types of beverage containers to encourage their proper disposal and recycling.
