Wicomico County - Alcoholic Beverages - Class B Beer, Wine, and Liquor Licenses - Purchases From Licensed Wholesalers and Self-Distribution
This bill updates Maryland state laws to allow Class B beer, wine, and liquor license holders in Wicomico County to purchase alcohol for retail sale from licensed wholesalers, in addition to county dispensaries. It also clarifies the rules for Class 9 limited distillery licenses, permitting them to sell their products at retail in ways consistent with their underlying restaurant or hotel licenses. The legislation sets specific limits on production and sales volumes for these distilleries while prohibiting them from holding separate wholesaler licenses. By repealing and reenacting relevant sections of the Annotated Code of Maryland, the bill ensures these regulatory changes apply specifically within Wicomico County.
