An Act relative to termination of sales to wholesalers by suppliers of alcoholic beverages

HD 3613 amends Massachusetts law to clarify that when a distiller, manufacturer, importer, or producer acquires the right to sell a specific brand of alcoholic beverage, they automatically take over all legal responsibilities and obligations previously held by the brand's previous supplier under Section 25E. This means the new supplier assumes all rights, duties, and liabilities tied to that brand, including compliance with existing distribution rules. The bill directly affects businesses that buy or acquire alcoholic beverage brands from other suppliers. It does not change sales rules for consumers or wholesalers but ensures legal continuity when brand ownership transfers.
