Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - License Extensions
This bill extends the expiration dates of two specific alcohol beverage licenses in Baltimore City until July 1, 2025, to allow for their transfer or renewal under new conditions. The extension applies to a license on Harford Road and another on East Fayette Street, but only if the current license holder signs an agreement with their respective local community associations. These agreements require a public input process for the transfer, restrict the new owner to selling only beer and wine for the first year, and mandate specific public safety measures such as improved lighting, noise control, and trash management. The law is set to expire automatically on July 31, 2025, without needing further legislative action.
