A SCAT license may be issued to a person who: (1) is engaged
in the business of catering; (2) meets all State and local
licensing requirements; (3) holds any catering license that
may be required by a local political subdivision; and (4) holds
an existing permanent retail alcoholic beverages license other
than a Class C license or does not hold an alcoholic beverages
license but has a permanent oce and storage facility for
alcoholic beverages in the State. A SCAT licensee may acquire
alcoholic beverages through a licensed wholesaler, if the
licensee also holds a retail license, or through a retail dealer
in the State.
A SCAT licensee may serve alcoholic beverages at a catered
event throughout the State to persons of legal drinking age on
unlicensed premises or on temporarily licensed premises. A
licensee may store unused alcoholic beverages at the principal
place of business for use at future catered events.
A licensed retailer who operates solely in a political subdivision
under the authority of the local Board of License Commissioners
need not acquire a SCAT license. Local boards are authorized
to monitor SCAT licensees and report violations of alcoholic
beverages law to the Comptroller’s Oce.
A SCAT licensee is required to supply service personnel, and
ensure that the personnel are present at all times during the
catered event. The personnel must be present for deliveries
of alcoholic beverages, and at least one individual must be
certied by an alcohol awareness program that is licensed by
the State Comptroller. All unused alcoholic beverages must be
returned at the end of a catered event to the principal place
of business. The sale of food must represent at least 70% of
the total cost of the event. A SCAT licensee may not serve
alcoholic beverages at its oce, or at any event for which the
holder is a sponsor, except when operating under a permanent
on-premises retail alcoholic beverages license.
A SCAT licensee may sell and serve alcoholic beverages only
during the hours and days that the holder of a Class B license
may operate in the jurisdiction where the catered event is
conducted. A person or establishment may have only one
SCAT license.
The SCAT license may be issued as a general or limited license.
A general SCAT license authorizes the holder to operate in any
political subdivision of the state and a limited SCAT license
authorizes the holder to operate in not more than three
contiguous designated political subdivisions provided that the
total population of the designated political subdivisions does
not exceed 1,000,000.
The annual fee for a general SCAT license is $2,000.00. For a
limited SCAT license, the fee is based upon the most recent
applicable records of the designated political subdivisions as
compiled by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as
follows:
1. A population of at least 600,000 $1,500.00
2. A population of more than 300,000 but less than 600,000
$1,000.00
3. A population of not more than 300,000 $750.00
An applicant for a SCAT license who holds a permanent
retail license and a special catering license, or who pays an
additional fee for the privilege of catering in the applicant’s
political subdivision, shall be entitled to a license fee credit
not to exceed the additional catering fee paid. However, there
must be a minimum license fee payment of $250 for a general
or limited SCAT license.
