Year's Day fall on a Sunday shall be governed by § 89 (j) of this article.

(6)  In Wicomico County, however, when New Year's Eve or New Year's Day

No licensee under the provisions of this article, or any of his employees, in
Worcester County, shall sell or furnish any alcoholic beverages at any time to a
minor under twenty-one years of age, either for his own use or for the use of any
other person, or to any person who at the time of such sale, or delivery, is visibly
under the influence of alcoholic beverages. Any licensee or employee of a licensee
who is to be charged with a violation of this offense may be proceeded against in
Worcester County either upon a [a] charging document duly issued by the District
Court for Worcester County or by an indictment duly returned by the grand jury
of said county. Any person violating any of the provisions of this subsection shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon the conviction thereof, shall suffer the
penalties provided by § 200 of this article. However, any person charged with
selling or furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor under twenty-one years of age
shall not be found guilty of a violation of this subsection if such person establishes
to the satisfaction of the jury or court sitting as a jury that he used due caution to
establish that such minor under twenty-one years of age was not, in fact, a minor
under twenty-one years of age. If any licensee shall be found not guilty, or placed
on probation without a verdict, of any alleged violation of this subsection, such
finding shall operate as a complete bar to any proceeding by any alcoholic
beverage law enforcement or licensing authorities on account of such violation.
This subsection shall apply solely to Worcester County and shall stand in place
and stead of subsection 118 (a) of this article as said subsection applies generally
to the counties of this State.

effect July 1, 1973.
