Bill > HB558

This bill, concerning alcoholic beverages in Prince George's County, Maryland, proposes to remove the previous restriction that limited the Board of License Commissioners to issuing only one "Wine Festival License" per year. This license, which allows holders of certain retail or winery licenses to sell wine for on- and off-premises consumption during designated festival periods, will now be subject to fewer limitations on the number that can be issued annually, while still requiring the Board to select festival locations outside the 24th Legislative District and ensure the primary focus is on promoting Maryland wine, and to coordinate dates to avoid conflicts with other county wine festivals.
