Bill > HB712

This bill modifies alcoholic beverage licensing regulations specifically for Harford County, Maryland. It allows the Board of License Commissioners to issue a new type of license called a Class GSF (golf simulator facility) license to a person who already holds one or more Class B licenses. The bill clarifies that this new Class GSF license will count toward the existing maximum limit of nine Class B licenses that a single person can hold. In practical terms, this means a business owner with multiple Class B liquor licenses can now also obtain a specialized license for serving alcohol at a golf simulator facility, and this additional license will be included in their total license count. The new licensing provision will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing businesses in Harford County with a new option for alcohol service in golf simulator venues while maintaining existing restrictions on the total number of licenses.
