Caroline County - Alcoholic Beverages - Barbershop and Beauty Salon License
This Maryland law creates a new license that allows barbershops and beauty salons in Caroline County to sell beer and wine to customers on the premises. The license is limited to serving up to 12 ounces of beer or 5 ounces of wine by the glass during normal business hours and cannot be transferred to a different location. To operate under this license, the business must already hold a valid permit for its primary services and complete required alcohol awareness training. The bill also updates the section numbers in the state code and sets the annual fee for this specific license at $100.
