New laws begin today

SALISBURY -- Dozens of new laws take effect in Maryland today, including measures that raise the sales tax on alcoholic beverages and hike the fees for vehicle titles and vanity license plates.

The laws are among thousands the General Assembly adopted during the 2011 session this winter. Most laws don't become active until Oct. 1.
Also going into effect today are new rules for shipping wine directly to Maryland residents. Residents can now receive bottles by mail from permit-holding wineries across the country. The law stops short of allowing shipment to residents from retailers offering wine-of-the-month clubs.
