Baltimore County - Alcoholic Beverages - Sale for Off-Premises Consumption

SB 72 allows Baltimore County restaurants and bars with specific licenses to sell mixed drinks in sealed containers for off-premises consumption, but only if the county's Board of License Commissioners adopts regulations first. These regulations must consider public health impacts, and the bill prohibits the board from charging extra fees for this service. To purchase, customers must be 21+, show ID, and the drinks must be in sealed containers sold before 11 PM. The bill also lets the board limit the quantity sold per person in one transaction. It takes effect July 1, 2026.
