Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - 45th Alcoholic Beverages District - Licenses

HB 472 authorizes Baltimore City's Board of License Commissioners to issue a Class C beer, wine, and liquor license for businesses operating in the 400 block of East Oliver Street within the 45th Alcoholic Beverages District. This license is only available under specific conditions: alcoholic beverages must be served outdoors only to seated patrons, off-premises sales are prohibited, service must begin no earlier than 10 a.m., and the applicant must sign a memorandum of understanding with the Greenmount West Community Association. The bill modifies existing licensing rules to create this new option in a specific downtown Baltimore location while maintaining stricter operating requirements than standard licenses. It does not affect other districts or existing license types outside this defined area.
