Prince George's County - Alcoholic Beverages Licenses - Prohibition on Transfer of Class A Beer, Wine, and Liquor License PG 314-26
HB 407 prohibits the transfer or sale of Class A alcohol licenses (for beer, wine, and liquor) in Prince George's County. It requires current license holders to return licenses if they expire or are no longer needed, and bans the county board from reissuing returned licenses. This applies specifically to existing retail license holders in Prince George's County and takes effect July 1, 2026. The bill modifies Maryland’s alcohol licensing code to restrict these transactions within the county.
