Baltimore City – Alcoholic Beverages – License Extension

HB 1488 extends a specific liquor license for a business at 5700 Falls Road in Baltimore City, allowing the current owner to complete an ownership transfer and renew the license without expiration concerns. The bill directly affects that single business location by overriding standard expiration rules under Maryland law, granting an extension until July 1, 2026. Key provisions include automatically extending the Class B-D-7 license's validity for transfer and renewal purposes, with the law terminating automatically on July 31, 2026. This is a targeted administrative extension, not a broad policy change, affecting only the specified Baltimore City premises.
