Carroll County – Alcoholic Beverages Licenses – Alcohol Awareness Training

This Maryland bill updates alcohol licensing rules specifically for Carroll County to require responsible service training. It mandates that at least one person listed on a Class B or Class D liquor license must complete an approved alcohol awareness program and remain on the premises during all hours alcohol is sold. If a licensee fails to meet these requirements, they face fines starting at $100 for a first offense, with higher penalties or license suspension for repeat violations. The law takes effect on July 1, 2024, and applies only to the specific county mentioned.
