Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - Board of License Commissioners
This bill transfers the authority to appoint and remove members of Baltimore City's Board of License Commissioners from local city officials to the Governor, requiring Senate approval for these appointments. It also mandates that board members be residents of the city and clarifies that they must follow state ethics rules instead of local ones. Additionally, the law ensures that board members and employees cannot have financial interests in businesses selling alcohol and must resign if they seek other government roles that create a conflict of interest.
