Prince George's County - Alcoholic Beverages - License Renewal
This bill updates the rules for renewing alcoholic beverage licenses in Prince George's County, Maryland, by allowing the licensing board to grant deadline extensions. It specifically addresses licenses that expired between March 5, 2020, and December 31, 2023, due to missed renewal applications, granting them a grace period until July 1, 2025. To regain their licenses during this period, affected business owners must prove they meet all other requirements and pay any outstanding fees. The changes take effect on July 1, 2024, and apply to Class A, B, C, and D license holders in the county.
