An Act extending pandemic-related relief for dining establishments

This bill extends pandemic-era relief for dining establishments in Massachusetts by delaying the expiration of certain rules until April 1, 2024. Specifically, it allows restaurants to continue delivering alcoholic beverages to customers under the same conditions that were in place during the health crisis. The legislation directly affects restaurants and bars that rely on these temporary provisions to operate. By updating the dates in two existing sections of state law, the bill ensures these businesses have an additional year of flexibility before the special rules end.
