H 111 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to protect children from the use of alcohol and marijuana

This bill amends Massachusetts law to prohibit the advertising of alcohol and marijuana distribution within 5,280 feet of a school zone. The change directly affects businesses and organizations that promote the sale or distribution of these substances near schools. By restricting where such advertisements can appear, the legislation aims to reduce children's exposure to marketing for alcohol and marijuana. The measure does not ban the sale of these products but limits the scope of their promotional efforts in specific areas.
