Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages Licenses - Revisions

SB 636 revises Baltimore City's alcoholic beverage license rules by removing the September 30 deadline for paying a $120 fee to exercise Sunday sales privileges (previously required for Class A beer/light wine and beer/wine/liquor licenses under sections 12-102 and 12-2003). It also changes the deadline for license holders to submit proof of paid personal property taxes from October 30 to March 30 annually (section 12-2103). The bill directly affects businesses holding Class A alcoholic beverage licenses in Baltimore City, primarily bars and restaurants seeking Sunday sales rights. These changes simplify administrative requirements for license holders, with the law taking effect July 1, 2026.
