Dorchester County - Alcoholic Beverages - Venue Beer, Wine, and Liquor License

SB 802 creates a new "venue beer, wine, and liquor license" for Dorchester County, allowing nonprofit or for-profit businesses to serve alcohol during events where food is provided. The license applies only to venues meeting specific criteria: at least 2,000 square feet, accommodating 100+ people, and having adequate bathrooms. It permits on-premises sales of beer, wine, and liquor by the drink or bottle during events like weddings or banquets, but prohibits carry-out and requires food service during the event. The annual license fee is $1,500, and the license cannot be transferred to another location.
