HB 1095 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Montgomery County - Alcoholic Beverages - Beauty Salon and Barbershop License MC 3-25

HB 1095 allows beauty salons in Montgomery County to serve liquor (in addition to beer and wine) for on-premises consumption under specific conditions. It amends licensing rules to permit up to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.7 ounces of liquor per customer when they receive a cosmetology service or attend a permitted fundraising event at the salon. The license remains tied to the salon location, requires annual $100 fees, and prohibits service after 9 p.m. This bill directly affects licensed beauty salons in Montgomery County by expanding their beverage service options within defined limits. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
