Governor Larry Hogan will be signing several bills into law tomorrow that were approved by the Maryland General Assembly, including a two year extension on the sale of alcohol via delivery and carryout by licensed restaurants.
The Montgomery County ABS, which regulates the sale of liquor in Montgomery County, passed a temporary resolution back on March 24, 2020 that allows holders of on-premise licenses to sell for carry out and delivery. This was one ways restaurants were able to stay afloat during the pandemic while dining rooms were shut down. A new bill, SB205, will replace the temporary resolution in July.
