Anne Arundel County – Alcoholic Beverages – Barbershop and Beauty Salon License

SB 852 allows barbershops and beauty salons in Anne Arundel County to serve liquor alongside beer and wine for on-premises consumption, directly affecting licensed businesses in these sectors. The bill authorizes a new license type permitting up to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.7 ounces of liquor per customer during eligible services - such as haircuts or cosmetology treatments - or at fundraising events. It also permits service until 9 p.m. without requiring a separate Sunday license and sets an annual $100 fee. The law amends Maryland’s liquor licensing code to implement these changes, effective July 1, 2026.
