Bill Summary
Authorizing the Board of Liquor Commissioners for Anne Arundel County to issue a certain dancing permit to the holder of a Class H beer and wine or beer, wine, and liquor license for a licensed premises located within 1,000 feet of a school located at the Annapolis Mall, rather than prohibiting the Board from doing so; and authorizing the Board to issue a new Class B beer and wine or beer, wine, and liquor license to an establishment located within 1,000 feet of a school located at the Annapolis Mall.
AI Summary
This bill modifies alcoholic beverage licensing regulations in Anne Arundel County, specifically addressing distance restrictions near schools at the Annapolis Mall. The legislation makes two key changes: first, it allows the Board of Liquor Commissioners to issue a dancing permit to a Class H beer and wine or beer, wine, and liquor license holder whose premises is located within 1,000 feet of a school at the Annapolis Mall, which was previously prohibited. Second, the bill authorizes the Board to issue a new Class B beer and wine or beer, wine, and liquor license to an establishment within 1,000 feet of the same school location. These modifications represent exceptions to the existing general rule that prevents new alcohol licenses from being issued within 1,000 feet of a school. The changes are specifically tailored to the Annapolis Mall area and will take effect on July 1, 2025, potentially providing more flexibility for businesses seeking to obtain alcohol licenses in that specific location.
