Wicomico County - Alcoholic Beverages - Temporary To-Go Event Permit and Class C Per Diem Municipal To-Go Beer, Wine, and Liquor License

SB 798 creates two new alcohol permit types for Wicomico County: a temporary "to-go event permit" for establishments with Class B licenses (like restaurants or hotels) to sell beer, wine, and liquor in to-go cups during designated special events, and a "Class C per diem municipal to-go license" for counties to issue to event organizers. It allows these permits to be used only in areas specified by the Class C license, enabling alcohol sales outside the main establishment during events. The bill modifies existing Maryland alcohol laws (specifically sections 32-902(i), 32-1104, and 32-1314) to establish these provisions and requires the Board of License Commissioners to adopt related regulations. This directly affects licensed restaurants, hotels, and event organizers in Wicomico County seeking to sell alcohol during temporary events.
