H 252 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to municipal millennials

This bill allows Massachusetts cities and towns to offer discounted prices on alcoholic beverages for specific licensees, such as those serving drinks on the premises. Under the new provision, municipalities could require these discounts to be advertised at least three days a week between Sunday and Wednesday. The measure directly affects local governments that choose to adopt this option and the liquor stores or restaurants that sell alcohol. It does not mandate discounts statewide but provides a framework for communities to decide if they want to implement lower prices for consumers.
