The State Appeal Board was established in 1933. It was desig-
nated by law as the "State License Bureau" until 1947, when the name
was changed (Acts of 1947, ch. 501, sec. 2A). The Board is com-
posed of three members appointed by the Comptroller of the Treasury
subject to the approval of the Governor. The Comptroller designates
the Chairman of the Board (Code 1947 Supp. Art. 2B, sec. 134).
The Board acts in place of a county board of license commissioners in
the counties of Charles, Queen Anne's, and Somerset (Code 1947
Supp. Art. 2B, sec. 134 (b) ). The Board hears appeals from the deci-
sions of the licensing authorities in Anne Arundel (except Annapolis),
Dorchester, Wicomico and Worcester Counties. For the counties of
Anne Arundel, Dorchester and Wicomico, the decision of the Board
is final; but in the remaining four counties appeals may be taken to
the Circuit Court (Art. 2B, secs. 147, 151). The Board meets within
the time prescribed by law after the filing of an appeal, request or
complaint at the County Seat of the county in which the action
originated..
