Bill > SB568

This bill increases the annual salary of the part-time deputy chief inspector for the Anne Arundel County Board of License Commissioners from $9,000 to $18,000, effectively doubling their compensation. The bill specifically amends the Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis section of Maryland law that governs the Board's employment structure. The part-time deputy chief inspector will continue to have the same responsibilities as other inspectors, which include having peace officer or sheriff-like powers for enforcing alcoholic beverage laws, serving summonses, and issuing civil citations. These inspectors are required to take an oath, provide a $2,000 penalty bond to the Board and County Council, and receive a monthly expense allowance of $300, subject to the Executive Director's approval. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, providing a clear timeline for the salary increase implementation.
