Bill > HB1488

This bill extends the expiration date of a specific Class B-D-7 alcoholic beverages license located on the 5700 block of Falls Road in Baltimore City until July 1, 2026. A Class B-D-7 license is typically a type of on-premises alcoholic beverage license, and this extension is specifically intended to facilitate the completion of a transfer of ownership and license renewal at the same location. The legislation provides a temporary exception to the standard expiration rules outlined in § 12-1705 of the Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis Article. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will automatically be abrogated (canceled) on July 31, 2026, without requiring any additional action by the Maryland General Assembly. This targeted approach allows the current license holder sufficient time to finalize the ownership transfer and renewal process without disruption.
