Bill > SB642

This bill allows the Board of License Commissioners for Baltimore City to authorize the transfer of a Class B-D-7 license, which is a license for beer, wine, and liquor, from a specific location on Washington Boulevard in the 40th Alcoholic Beverages District to an establishment on South High Street in the 46th Alcoholic Beverages District. It also permits licensed establishments in a particular area of the 46th district to allow consumption of alcohol donated by manufacturers or wholesalers under specific conditions, such as when a nonprofit entity rents the premises for an event, the nonprofit's status is verified, the licensee serves the alcohol, taxes are paid, and this arrangement is tied to a single rental contract. Additionally, the bill extends the unexpired status of a Class B-D-7 license on Eastern Avenue until July 1, 2027, allowing it to be renewed and transferred to a new owner on Aliceanna Street. The bill takes effect on June 1, 2026, with the provision regarding donated alcohol remaining in effect for two years.
