Prince George's County - Alcoholic Beverages Licenses - Nonprofit Organizations PG 304-24
This bill updates Prince George's County laws to allow nonprofit fraternal and sororal organizations to apply for Class C licenses to sell beer, wine, and liquor for on-premises consumption. To qualify, these groups must be independent and nationwide, have at least 100 dues-paying members, and operate a clubhouse primarily for their members, while explicitly excluding college or high school fraternities and sororities. The license permits sales during standard hours without Sunday restrictions, allows private room rentals, and sets an annual fee of $910, with penalties for repeated underage sales violations.
