An Act increasing accessibility in restaurants for physically handicapped persons

This bill requires restaurants in Massachusetts, such as cafeterias, bars, and lounges, to ensure that at least 5% of their seating consists of armchairs or that armchairs are available for customers to request. The primary goal is to improve accessibility for physically handicapped individuals who may need chairs with armrests for easier access. By mandating this specific seating ratio, the law aims to make dining environments more inclusive without altering other operational aspects of the establishments.
