HB 1379
HB 1379 modernizes Maryland's Class A alcoholic beverage retail licenses, adjusting operational requirements and eligibility for thousands of retail establishments.
HB 1379 modifies Maryland's alcoholic beverage licensing framework by updating Class A license provisions for retail establishments. The bill appears designed to modernize regulations governing how retailers can operate under this license category, though specific amendments are not detailed in the available information. This is part of a broader "Alcoholic Beverages Modernization Act of 2025."
Class A licenses directly affect thousands of Maryland retail businesses—including grocery stores, pharmacies, and convenience stores—that sell beer, wine, or spirits. Changes to licensing requirements, fees, operational restrictions, or eligibility criteria can significantly impact small business operations and consumer access to alcoholic beverages. These regulatory changes may also influence state revenue from licensing fees and tax compliance.
