Allegany County - Alcoholic Beverages - Minimum Age for Employment of Underage Individuals

HB 1108 raises the minimum employment age for individuals working in Allegany County alcohol businesses from 16 to 18 years, except for establishments deriving over half their revenue from food sales (like restaurants), which may still employ 16- to 21-year-olds. It also requires anyone serving beer, wine, or liquor to be at least 18 years old. The bill directly affects all alcohol license holders in Allegany County, including bars and restaurants. The changes take effect July 1, 2025, and amend specific sections of Maryland’s Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis code.
