An Act relative to preventing illegal alcohol sales
This bill prohibits licensed stores from using automated or self-checkout systems for selling alcohol. It requires all in-store alcohol sales to occur through face-to-face transactions between customers and either the store owner or an employee aged 18 or older. The law directly affects licensed retailers (like liquor stores) that currently offer self-checkout for alcohol. The key change mandates in-person sales to prevent potential underage access or illegal transactions through automated systems.
