Bill > HB582

This bill removes the requirement for individuals applying for or signing applications for certain alcoholic beverage licenses in Prince George's County to be registered voters. Specifically, it repeals the stipulation that officers of country clubs, country and golf clubs, and yacht clubs must be registered voters in addition to being residents and taxpayers when applying for Class C licenses. It also removes this voter registration requirement for individuals authorized to act on behalf of the University of Maryland's educational conference facilities (Class B/ECF and Class B-ECF/DS licenses) and for partners or applicants seeking certain licenses under sections 26-1405 and 26-1406, who previously had to be both residents and registered voters of the state. The bill aims to streamline the licensing process by eliminating this voter registration prerequisite for these specific alcohol licenses.
