Frederick County - Alcoholic Beverages - Promoter's Permit

This Maryland bill updates the licensing rules for alcohol events in Frederick County by creating a specific permit for for-profit organizations to sell beer, wine, and liquor at gatherings. The law allows these organizations to apply for the permit if they are planning an event where alcohol will be sold, provided the organization does not already hold a standard alcohol license. Fees for the permit vary based on the expected number of attendees, ranging from $50 for small events to $1,000 for those with more than 3,000 people. Additionally, the bill gives the local Board of License Commissioners the authority to set health and safety standards for these events.
