SD 1499 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to retail liquor sales to caterers

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow licensed liquor retailers to sell alcohol directly to caterers. Currently, caterers must purchase alcohol from wholesalers, but this change would enable them to buy directly from stores like liquor shops. The provision applies to both existing licensed retailers and new retailers authorized under specific sections of the liquor laws. By updating the legal definition of who can sell to caterers, the bill expands the range of approved sellers in the state's alcohol distribution system.
