Cecil County - Alcoholic Beverages - Alteration of License Quota

SB 897 changes Cecil County's limit for Class A alcohol licenses (used by restaurants, bars, and retailers) from 1 license per 400 registered voters to 1 license per 1,200 registered voters. This directly affects businesses seeking Class A licenses in Cecil County by increasing the allowable number of such licenses. The bill specifies that only Class A licenses count toward this quota, excluding other license types like restaurant or golf course licenses. The new ratio applies separately to each election district in the county and takes effect July 1, 2026.
