Baltimore City - Alcoholic Beverages - 46th Alcoholic Beverages District

SB 642 modifies Baltimore City's alcoholic beverage licensing rules. It allows the transfer of a specific Class B-D-7 license from Baltimore's 40th district to the 46th district (coterminous with the 46th legislative district), and permits license holders in the 46th district to serve donated alcohol from manufacturers/wholesalers at nonprofit events under strict conditions (e.g., nonprofit rental, tax compliance). The bill also extends the expiration of one license (for 1600 block of Eastern Avenue) until July 1, 2027, to facilitate renewal and transfer to a new location. These changes directly affect businesses operating in Baltimore City's 40th and 46th alcoholic beverage districts. The bill takes effect June 1, 2026, with Section 2 expiring May 31, 2028.
