Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - B-D-7 Licenses - Hours of Sale

This bill updates the rules for when specific liquor stores in Baltimore City can sell alcohol by changing the geographic boundaries that determine their operating hours. It directly affects business owners holding B-D-7 licenses, which allow them to sell beer, wine, and liquor. The law sets different sale times depending on where a store is located, with some areas restricted to sales between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. or 10 p.m., while others may operate from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. The legislation also clarifies that stores in certain zones cannot extend their hours beyond these limits even if they choose to open earlier or close later. These changes take effect on June 1, 2024.
