Wicomico County - Alcoholic Beverages - Monopoly of Liquor Control Board and Dispensary - Repeal

This bill repeals the exclusive monopoly held by the Wicomico County Liquor Control Board on the wholesale sale and distribution of certain alcoholic beverages. It allows holders of specific liquor licenses to purchase alcohol directly from private wholesalers or from county dispensaries, rather than being forced to buy only from the government-run board. Additionally, the legislation removes restrictions on wholesalers delivering liquor within the county and adjusts pricing rules to cap dispensary markups at 15% above operating costs. These changes effectively open the local alcohol market to private competition while maintaining some regulatory oversight over dispensary operations.
