An Act relative to the creation of additional business opportunities for alcohol retailers
This bill allows Massachusetts alcohol retailers to ship wine and beer directly to customers in other states, provided they obtain proper state registrations. It creates new licenses for online alcohol stores requiring a Massachusetts physical address (but no storefront) and mandates strict age verification for deliveries (21+ signature required, with ID checks). Retailers and delivery companies must obtain special permits for shipping, including a 108-liter per-delivery limit and records for commission review. The changes, including new regulations for online sales and shipping, take effect on December 31, 2025.
