AI Summary
This bill establishes a new Class C (Theater) Beer, Wine, and Liquor License specifically for Frederick County, Maryland. The license can be obtained by theaters with seating, with the theater manager or a designated official able to sign the application. The Board of License Commissioners may issue this license, which allows the holder to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption during a specific timeframe: one hour before and one hour after a regular performance, a fund-raiser performance that benefits the theater, or an event hosted by an outside group that has rented the theater. The annual license fee is set at $150, and the bill will take effect on June 1, 2025. This legislation provides a new avenue for theaters in Frederick County to serve alcoholic beverages during performances and events, potentially enhancing the venue's revenue and patron experience while maintaining controlled serving times.
