An Act relative to the proper disposal of miniatures
This bill amends Massachusetts beverage laws to clarify definitions for small alcohol containers. It defines "miniature" as any sealable container (glass, metal, or plastic) holding 100 milliliters or less, specifically for alcoholic beverages. The bill also updates "beverage" to explicitly include miniatures containing alcohol, while excluding wine and other alcohol types. This directly affects businesses producing or selling small alcohol containers, ensuring they fall under specific beverage container regulations. The changes focus solely on regulatory definitions, not disposal methods.
