Bill > SB738

This bill modifies the existing alcoholic beverage licensing regulations specifically for barbershops and beauty salons in Frederick County, Maryland. The key change increases the amount of wine that can be served by the glass from 5 ounces to 6.5 ounces for customers receiving services or attending fund-raising events. Under the new law, barbershops and beauty salons with a special beer and wine license can serve up to 6.5 ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer during normal business hours, but not later than 9 p.m. The license, which costs $100 annually, may only be issued to businesses with a valid barbershop or beauty salon permit and cannot be transferred to another location. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and applies only within Frederick County, allowing these establishments to provide slightly more wine to customers during services or fundraising events.
