Howard County – Alcoholic Beverages – Class D Licenses – Delivery Ho. Co. 21–25

SB 1036 amends Maryland law to regulate alcohol delivery for Howard County businesses with Class D licenses (typically restaurants or similar establishments). It requires all deliveries to occur only within Howard County, mandates that delivery personnel verify the recipient’s age (21+) with ID, and requires the recipient (or a designated 21+ adult) to be physically present during delivery. The bill also requires delivery forms certifying age verification and payment at the time of order. These changes directly affect Howard County Class D license holders and their delivery staff. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
