HD 882 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the responsible sale of alcoholic beverages

HD 882 requires liquor license holders (Section 15 licensees) and their employees in Massachusetts to complete a mandatory training program every three years. The training covers four key areas: state laws governing off-premises alcohol sales, preventing sales to underage individuals, refusing sales to intoxicated persons, and stopping second-party sales that could lead to underage access. This bill directly affects licensed bars, restaurants, and retail stores that sell alcohol for takeout or delivery. The requirement applies to all such businesses and their staff, aiming to improve responsible alcohol sales practices.
