An Act investigating the economic impact of certain Massachusetts laws

HD 420 creates a commission to study Massachusetts' minimum pricing laws for dairy, alcohol, and tobacco products. The commission, including government officials, small business representatives, industry groups, and public health experts, will analyze how these laws affect small business costs and compare them to neighboring states. It must assess pricing impacts and recommend potential adjustments to better assist small businesses. The commission will submit a report with findings and proposed legislation within one year.
