MA Beer and Wine Sales Ballot Initiative Moves Forward

Share Post

Initiative Petition No. 19-14: Petition for a Law Relative to the Sale of Beer and Wine by Food Stores has been certified to appear on the November ballot. The proposal would create a license allowing food stores to sell wine and beer for off-premises consumption, progressively increase and then eliminate the limit on the number of licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages consumed off-premises that any one retailer could own or control, and require food stores and other retailers selling alcohol for consumption off-premises to implement certain age-verification policies to prevent the sale of alcohol to customers under age 21.
