Frederick County - Alcoholic Beverages - Manufacturer's Limited Beer, Wine, and Liquor Permit
This Maryland state bill creates a new permit for alcohol manufacturers in Frederick County to allow licensed caterers to bring their own beer, wine, and liquor to private events held at the manufacturer's facility. The permit is available only to businesses that already hold a local on-site consumption license and requires approval from the county board for each specific event. To ensure oversight, the board must establish rules for approving events and set an annual fee for the permit. The law takes effect on July 1, 2024, and applies exclusively within Frederick County.
