An Act investigating the economic impact of certain Massachusetts laws

This bill creates a special commission to study how Massachusetts' minimum pricing laws affect the economy and small businesses. The commission will include government officials, industry representatives, health advocates, and experts in finance and economics to examine current state rules and compare them with neighboring states. During its investigation, the group will analyze how these laws influence product costs and may hold public hearings to gather data and testimony. The commission is required to submit a final report with findings and potential legislative changes to the governor and state officials within one year of the bill taking effect.
