A state delegate from Montgomery County is pushing to let some grocery and convenience stores sell alcohol, a major deviation from the current law, which restricts them from selling beer or wine.
The Montgomery County Council was split on Monday on whether to support the bill, eventually tabling a vote on its official stance.
Del. Lily Qi’s bill is aimed at encouraging grocery businesses to settle in underserved areas of the state by requiring liquor boards to grant them licenses to sell alcohol.
