Alcohol delivery permits, indoor vaping ban, other bills to go into effect July 1

The first big batch of bills passed during the 2024 legislative session goes into effect next week. Democratic Gov. Wes Moore signed 1,049 bills in the weeks after the 90-day session, which saw big budgetary issues and a push for changes in the state’s juvenile justice system, adjourned April 8 for the year. Negotiated in the session’s dwindling days and shortly after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed March 26 in Baltimore, the state budget for the next fiscal year goes into effect July 1.
