Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - Related Event Promoter's Permit

HB 20 creates a new "related event promoter's permit" in Baltimore City for events where alcohol is sold or provided through coordinated promotions between license holders and third parties (like concerts, tournaments, or happy hours). It requires promoters and participating license holders (such as caterers) to apply for this permit 30 days in advance, pay a $50 application fee, and a $500-$1,000 permit fee based on venue capacity. Operating without the permit carries fines of $1,000-$3,000 or license suspension for promoters and caterers. The bill directly affects event organizers, caterers, and the Board of License Commissioners, establishing clear rules for alcohol sales at temporary public events.
