Bill Summary

Relative to civil violations

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) investigators to issue civil citations, with a fine amount equivalent to the criminal fine, for violations of certain alcohol laws. The bill also requires the ABCC to conduct fingerprint-based criminal background checks on certain individuals as part of the liquor license application process, and allows the ABCC to conduct such checks for other license types. The costs of the background check system will be covered by fees collected from the applicants and deposited into a dedicated trust fund.
