AI Summary
This bill establishes a new Class C (Theater) Beer, Wine, and Liquor License specifically for Frederick County, Maryland. The license allows theaters with seating to serve alcoholic beverages during specific time periods: one hour before and one hour after a regular performance, a fund-raiser performance benefiting the theater, or an event hosted by an outside group that has rented the theater. The application for the license can be signed by the theater's manager or another designated official, and the annual license fee is set at $150. The license is intended to provide theaters with more flexible options for serving alcoholic beverages during performances and events, potentially enhancing the theater-going experience and creating additional revenue opportunities. The bill will take effect on June 1, 2025, and applies exclusively to Frederick County, as specified in the existing alcoholic beverages law.
