Summary

The bill lets the Baltimore County Board of License Commissioners move a small number of existing Class B or D liquor licenses from districts that have more licenses than allowed to other districts, provided the receiving district stays within a 25% license cap. It also requires transferred Class D licenses to become Class B licenses and restricts further moves or conversions. The changes aim to balance license distribution across the county.
