Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - 46th Alcoholic Beverages District - Revisions

This bill updates regulations for the 46th Alcoholic Beverages District in Baltimore City, allowing the Board of License Commissioners to issue a limited number of new liquor licenses within a specific bounded area. It also permits existing license holders to convert their beer and light wine permits to full liquor licenses if they operate small restaurants with high food sales and meet local community requirements. The legislation maintains existing rules that prevent new licenses from being placed within 300 feet of schools or churches and restricts license transfers to locations closer to these sites than they were in 2004. Additionally, the bill extends the expiration date for certain licenses and waives a requirement for some restaurant license holders to remain open after hours.
