Expanding eligibility for a certain beauty salon license in Montgomery County to include a holder of a certain barbershop permit; authorizing a holder of the license to provide up to 1.7 ounces of liquor for on-premises consumption in addition to beer and wine; and authorizing the holder to provide not more than 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.7 ounces of liquor for on-premises consumption by a beauty salon or barbershop customer; and requiring an annual license fee of $100.

AI Summary

This bill expands the existing beauty salon alcohol license in Montgomery County to include barbershop permit holders, allowing them to serve alcoholic beverages to customers during cosmetology or barbering services. Specifically, the license authorizes the establishment to provide up to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.7 ounces of liquor for on-premises consumption when a customer is receiving a service or attending a fund-raising event. The license is restricted to a single location, can only be used during normal business hours and not later than 9 p.m., and requires the establishment to complete alcohol awareness training. The annual license fee is set at $100, and the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025. This change allows barbershops the same alcohol service privileges currently available to beauty salons in Montgomery County, potentially creating a more relaxed and social atmosphere for customers receiving personal grooming services.
