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

This bill updates regulations for alcoholic beverage licenses in Baltimore City's 46th district, specifically allowing the Board of License Commissioners to issue a limited number of new licenses within a defined area near South Locust Point. It permits existing licenses to be moved to new locations only if they remain at least 300 feet away from schools or places of worship, and it prohibits transferring licenses into the newly designated zone. The legislation also enables certain restaurants to convert from beer-and-wine licenses to full liquor licenses if they meet specific criteria, such as generating over 51% of revenue from food sales and signing a community agreement. Additionally, the bill extends the expiration date of some existing licenses to facilitate their transfer and restricts new licenses from being granted to recipients of certain state grants.
