Bill > HB1270

This bill, applicable only in Prince George's County, alters the requirements for notifying the public about applications for alcoholic beverage licenses. Instead of requiring notices to be published in at least two newspapers of general circulation, the bill mandates that the Board responsible for issuing licenses must publish this notice on its website, through social media, and via email at least 30 days before the deadline for submitting applications. This notice must still include details about the number and types of licenses available, the application deadline, and the hearing date. Additionally, the bill clarifies that in addition to these online and email notifications, a physical notice must be posted in a conspicuous place at the proposed license location for at least 10 days before the hearing.
