It is unclear what the rules are regarding state legislators drinking on the job, but this afternoon's agenda for the Montgomery County Senate Delegation is enough to make anyone reach for the nearest glass of vino. 

Here's what county senators will be discussing, and possibly voting on, today:

1) Winery Special Event Permits - Farmers' Markets, sponsored by Del. Eric Luedtke (D-Dist 14).

Essentially, farmers' markets need permits to host special wine tasting events. With all of the markets in Montgomery County, legislators want to amend the law to allow them to be able to get a permit.

2) Montgomery County - Alcoholic Beverages - Refillable Beer Containers, sponsored by Del. Susan Lee (D-Dist 16) and Sen. Brian Frosh (D-Dist 16). 

Have you heard of a growler? It's a refillable, 1-gallon container of beer and they're all the rage amongst microbrewery enthusiasts. This amendment to local alcohol laws would allow certain beer and wine sellers to permit growlers. If passed, Montgomery County would be one a few counties to permit the practice, according to reporting from Anne Arundel County Patch.

"It’s an up and coming trend, by the end of the [2013] session we should have six or seven counties," Sen. Ed Reilly (R-Crofton) said.

3) Montgomery County - Consumption of Wine Not Bought from License Holder - Class H Licenses, sponsored by the chair of the delegation on behalf of Montgomery County government.

This is an amendment to an amendment passed last year that allows local restaurants and hotels to allow patrons to bring their own wine to dinner but be charged a corkage fee. Last year's bill forgot to include businesses with Class H licenses. Del. Anne Kaiser (D-Dist 14), chair of the House delegation, said it's a small number of businesses that fall into this type of license that should not have been excluded last year.

"All we're doing is fixing it," Kaiser told Patch.
