Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court February 19, 1991 (Massachusetts Wholesalers of Malt Beverages, Inc. v. Attorney General)

O’Connor, J.

This case requires us to construe the so-called “bottle bill,” G. L. c. 94, §§ 321-327 (1988 ed.), and, more particularly, § 323 (g). Section 323 (g) provides as follows: “Any bottler or distributor who receives deposits and/ or handling charges under this chapter shall segregate said deposits or handling charges in a fund which shall be maintained separately from all other revenues.
