SD 1748 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages

This bill amends Massachusetts law to change how grocery stores can sell alcohol on the premises. Currently, stores must sell at least 50% of their revenue in grocery items to be allowed to serve alcohol on-site. This legislation removes that 50% revenue requirement, allowing grocery stores to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises regardless of their grocery sales percentage. The change directly affects retail grocery businesses licensed to sell alcohol in the state.
