Washington County - Alcoholic Beverages - Multi-Use Sports and Events Facility Beer, Wine, and Liquor License

This bill updates the alcohol licensing rules for the multi-use sports and events facility in Washington County, Maryland, allowing the venue to sell beer, wine, and liquor for on-site consumption. The law designates a specific license for the facility owner, who must be the operator of a professional baseball team, and expands the permitted sale of beverages to include plastic, Styrofoam, or paper containers. To ensure responsible service, the bill mandates that all employees complete alcohol awareness training and obtain crowd control certification, while also setting the annual license fee at $2,500. These changes take effect on July 1, 2024, and authorize the sale of alcohol during events held at the facility beyond just baseball games.
