Nearly four decades after Mass. lawmakers banned happy hours statewide, they might be making a comeback:
Nearly four decades after Massachusetts lawmakers banned the practice statewide, happy hour could return to the menu in willing cities and towns if the Senate has its way.creating a local-option happy hour program onto their version of a $4.57 billion economic development bill, suddenly reviving the chances of a long-debated idea popular with many consumers that has failed to gain traction on Beacon Hill in the past due in part to concerns over drunk driving.
Cyr said in addition to providing a new economic development tool, he believes the measure would chip away at a"no fun Massachusetts lament" particularly common among younger generations. Cyr said the provision would give a"level of granularity for local control." Some cities and towns — especially those whose residents rely more on driving to get around — might have no interest at all in discounted drink promotions, he said, and others might want to limit happy hours to off-peak times.
Cyr was the only lawmaker to speak about the amendment during Thursday's debate, and senators adopted it with an unrecorded voice vote.
