Harford County - Alcoholic Beverages - Stadium License Annual Fee
This Maryland bill reduces the annual fee for a stadium beer, wine, and liquor license in Harford County from $10,000 to $7,000. It also clarifies rules for selling alcohol at professional baseball stadiums, including specific times when sales must stop during games and restrictions on where alcohol can be served. The legislation further limits how alcohol can be dispensed during games, prohibiting roving vendors and requiring servers to hold approved certificates. These changes apply to the stadium owner, lessee, or concession manager who holds the license.
