MGL CH. 138, SEC 14, 23; 204 CMR 7.04
Local licensing authorities may issue special licenses for the sale of wines and/or malt beverages to a responsible manager of any indoor activity or enterprise (for profit or non-profit). Special licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages may be issued to non-profit organizations only. No person may be granted special licenses for more than a total of 30 days per calendar year and no special license will be granted to any person while his application for an annual license under Section 12 is pending before the licensing authorities.
No more than one license can be issued for a premises
at one time. Therefore, a Section 14 special license can not be issued
for use in a licensed premises.
Persons holding a special license must purchase
alcoholic beverages from a licensed wholesaler/importer, manufacturer,
farmer-winery, farmer-brewery or special permit holder. A person holding
a Section 14 license cannot purchase alcoholic beverages from a package
store.
