Bill > SB399

This bill modifies the fee structure for temporary alcoholic beverage licenses, specifically Class C per diem licenses, in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. A "per diem" license is a temporary license valid for a single day, often used for special events. The bill distinguishes between events with fewer than 500 attendees and those with 500 or more. For smaller events, the daily fee remains $25 for a beer or beer and wine license, and $50 for a beer, wine, and liquor license. However, for larger events with 500 or more attendees, the fee structure changes to be per point of sale location that serves alcohol at the event, with the daily fee remaining $25 for beer or beer and wine licenses and $50 for beer, wine, and liquor licenses at each serving location. This change aims to adjust fees based on the scale of the event and the number of alcohol service points.
