Baltimore County - Alcoholic Beverages - License Applications - Notice

This bill updates the rules for applying for alcoholic beverage licenses in Baltimore County by allowing the local licensing board to post notices online instead of requiring publication in local newspapers. Under the new provisions, the board can fulfill the public notice requirement by posting a completed application notice on its website at least 14 days before a hearing date. Applicants must still receive notice through a physical sign posted at the proposed business location for 10 days prior to the hearing. The change takes effect on July 1, 2024, and aims to modernize how the public is informed about license applications in the county.
