Baltimore County - Alcoholic Beverages - Distance From Place of Worship Restriction - Exception

SB 999 amends Baltimore County's alcohol licensing rules to allow the Board of License Commissioners to issue beer, wine, and liquor licenses to establishments within 300 feet of a place of worship under specific conditions. These conditions include the establishment being located in the Towson area, situated in an office building of at least 100,000 square feet with a BM-D.T zoning classification, having the place of worship's written consent, and operating as a restaurant or market (not a Class A license). The bill directly affects businesses seeking alcohol licenses in Baltimore County and the Board that reviews such applications. This change takes effect on July 1, 2025.
