Baltimore County - Alcoholic Beverages - Class A Licenses - Self-Checkout Machines Prohibited

HB 1213 prohibits businesses with Baltimore County Class A alcohol licenses (for wine, beer/wine, or beer/wine/liquor sales) from using self-checkout machines at their licensed locations. It amends three sections of Maryland law (13-701, 13-802, and 13-901) to add a specific ban on self-checkout machines, replacing prior language. This applies directly to licensed retail establishments selling alcohol in Baltimore County, including wineries and taverns. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not change annual license fees ($100, $250, or $900).
