House
Bill 716 in the Maryland General Assembly, which would allow the direct
shipping of wine to consumers, is set to have a hearing before the
Economic Matters Committee Friday afternoon. The Senate version of the
bill, SB 566, was scheduled to have a hearing on the same day before
the Education Health and Environmental Affairs Committee, but that has
been rescheduled for March 17.
The
bill would repeal the Direct Wine Seller’s Permit and institute a new
Direct Wine Shipper’s License that would not require a wholesaler and
retailer to handle a wine shipment between a producer and a consumer.
