LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 51

Article 2B - Alcoholic Beverages

4.

(b) (1) A fee of [fifty dollars] $50 shall be
collected for a public storage or transportation permit, a
nonresident dealer permit, an import and export permit, a
solicitor's permit, and a bulk transfer permit when the
inventory in alcoholic beverages is [$1,000.00] $1,000 or
more valued at cost. A fee of [twenty-five dollars] $25
shall be collected for an individual storage permit, a bulk
transfer permit when the inventory in alcoholic beverages is
less than [$1,000.00] $1,000 valued at cost, and a
nonbeverage permit except for an eleemosynary permittee OR
A FUEL-ALCOHOL PERMITTEE in which case the permit shall be
issued without the payment of any fee. All such permits
shall expire on May 31 next after the date of issue unless
otherwise provided. (2) All nonbeverage permits shall be
renewed on or before September 1, 1959[,] and thereafter
shall not expire until cancelled or revoked. (3) A change
of domicile permit shall be issued upon the payment of a fee
of [two dollars] $2, and when issued shall cover only a
specific transaction. (4) An individual transportation
permit shall be issued upon the payment of a fee of [two
dollars] $2. (5) A bulk transfer permit shall cover only a
specific transaction, and shall expire [ten] 10 days from
the date of issue, except that if such a time restriction of
this permit would be an undue burden, the Comptroller in his
discretion may grant a reasonable extension of time. (6)
The Comptroller shall prescribe a means of identification
for each vehicle authorized under an individual
transportation permit or a transportation or public storage
and transportation permit which shall be kept in or on the
vehicle at all times when alcoholic beverages are being
transported. The fee for such identification shall be [two
dollars] $2 for each vehicle. Provided, however, whenever
the Comptroller finds as a fact that a jurisdiction outside
of the State of Maryland exacts a tax, assessment, impost,
or other charge or restriction, in connection with the
solicitation, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages
consigned to such jurisdiction from a Maryland license or
permit holder, that is in excess of such tax, assessment,
impost, or other charge or restriction exacted of persons
within such jurisdiction, in connection with the
solicitation, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages
consigned to such jurisdiction from a license or permit
holder other than a Maryland license or permit holder and
that such greater tax, assessment, impost, or other charge
or restriction in fact discriminates against a Maryland
license or permit holder, then the Comptroller shall impose
on the seller a similar or like tax, assessment, impost or
other charge or restriction for the privilege of soliciting
sales of alcoholic beverages and/or consigning alcoholic
beverages from such jurisdiction to persons in the State of
