Bill Summary
Designating the original Maryland orange crush as the State cocktail.
AI Summary
This bill officially designates the Original Maryland Orange Crush as the State Cocktail of Maryland. Specifically, the bill amends the General Provisions article of the Maryland Annotated Code by adding a new section (7-313) that explicitly states this designation. The bill involves some technical legislative housekeeping by renumbering existing sections of the code to accommodate the new section. The law is set to take effect on June 1, 2025, which gives state officials time to prepare for the new official state cocktail designation. While the bill does not provide details about the specific recipe or origin of the Original Maryland Orange Crush, it represents a symbolic recognition of a drink that likely has cultural or historical significance to the state of Maryland.
