Bill Summary
Authorizing the Board of License Commissioners for Harford County to issue a Class GSF (golf simulator facility) license to a holder of a Class B license; and clarifying that the Class GSF (golf simulator facility) license counts toward the maximum number of nine Class B alcoholic beverages licenses a holder may be issued.
AI Summary
This bill modifies alcoholic beverage licensing rules specifically for Harford County, Maryland by allowing the Board of License Commissioners to issue an additional Class GSF (golf simulator facility) license to holders of Class B licenses. Currently, licensees are limited to nine Class B licenses, but this bill creates an exception that permits one additional Class GSF license, which will count toward the total nine-license limit. The Class GSF license is specifically designed for golf simulator facilities, which are likely indoor venues that use technology to simulate playing golf and can now serve alcoholic beverages under certain conditions. This change provides more flexibility for businesses in Harford County that want to operate both a traditional Class B licensed establishment and a golf simulator facility with an alcohol license. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving local businesses and regulators time to prepare for the new licensing option.
