Maryland HB558 repeals the restriction on the number of wine festival licenses in Prince George's County.
Maryland HB558 removes the annual limit on wine festival licenses in Prince George's County, allowing the Board of License Commissioners to issue one license each year. The license authorizes the holder to display and sell wine for on- and off-premises consumption during designated hours and days. The Board must choose a location for the festival that is not in the 24th Legislative District and is not already licensed, ensuring the primary focus is on promoting Maryland wine. The act takes effect July 1, 2026.
