Approved by the Governor - Chapter 827
Summary
The bill amends Maryland’s alcoholic‑beverages code to apply only in Garrett County, adding a substitute member to the county’s Board of License Commissioners and authorizing a special‑event permit for certain winery license holders. It also tightens requirements for any license that includes a catering option, mandating food service, staffed service personnel, and alcohol‑awareness certification, and adds a citizenship‑status question on license applications. These changes aim to give the county more oversight of alcohol sales at private events and catered functions.
