Garrett County - Alcoholic Beverages Act of 2026

SB 802 is a proposed bill that updates alcohol licensing rules specifically for Garrett County. It adds a substitute member to the Board of License Commissioners to serve during absences of regular members and creates a new special event permit for Class 3 winery and Class 4 limited winery license holders. The bill also requires caterers with alcohol licenses to ensure food costs represent at least 50% of event revenue, maintain adequate service staff at all times, and disclose citizenship status on license applications. These changes modify existing state alcohol laws as they apply within Garrett County.
