Baltimore County - Alcoholic Beverages - Sale or Delivery for Off-Premises Consumption
HB 770 allows Baltimore County restaurants and bars with specific licenses to sell mixed alcoholic drinks in sealed containers for takeout or delivery, under strict conditions. It requires that the drink be purchased with food (not prepackaged snacks), sold only to customers 21+ with ID, packaged in original sealed containers without straws, and delivered by staff before 11 PM. The bill also prohibits delivery to other liquor-licensed businesses or outside Baltimore County. These changes apply only if the County Board of License Commissioners adopts specific regulations addressing public health impacts. The bill modifies existing Maryland code to permit this limited delivery option for restaurants.
