Garrett County Alcoholic Beverages Act of 2024

This bill establishes new licensing options specifically for Garrett County to allow hotels, motels, and recreational facilities to sell beer, wine, and liquor at additional locations on their property. It creates three distinct license types that permit sales at secondary facilities separated by at least 150 feet from the main premises, with fees ranging from $150 to $1,750 per additional facility depending on the license category. The legislation also introduces a special license for an annual beer, wine, and liquor festival organized by a qualified nonprofit, while simultaneously banning the consumption or transfer of alcohol within places of adult entertainment. Additionally, the bill adjusts Sunday sales hours for certain licenses, modifies residency requirements for applicants, and updates the maximum fines for violating local alcohol laws.
