(a)  In Anne Arundel County no new license shall be granted to sell
alcoholic beverages in any building located within one thousand
(1000) feet of the grounds of a church or school, but the license of
any person now holding a license for any building located within
such distance of the grounds of a church or school may be renewed
or extended for the same building. This section does not apply to the
City of Annapolis.

This section shall not apply to any transfer or assignment of a
license located within such distance [nor shall this section apply to
the issuance of a license for a place of business established for the
sale of alcoholic beverages prior to June 1, 1939. Provided however,
that after January 1, 1954, this section shall apply to Class LP, off
sale, package goods, licenses],

(b)  The words "transfer or assignment" as used in subsection (a)
of this section shall mean the transfer or assignment of a license
from the licensee to whom issued to a new licensee and shall not mean
the transfer of a license permitting the sale of alcoholic beverages in
the premises designated in the said license to other premises within
the 1000 feet limitation set forth in said subsection (a).

[Provided, however, that within the first precinct of the second
election district of Anne Arundel County it shall be lawful by and
with the approval of the board of license commissioners for Anne
Arundel County to transfer a license permitting the sale of alcoholic
beverages from the premises designated in the said license to other
premises within the 1000 feet limitation set forth in subsection (a)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section,
and provided further that whenever such a transfer from licensed
premises to other premises is authorized that no new license shall be
issued for the sale of alcoholic beverages on the premises from which
the license was transferred, notwithstanding anything to the con-
trary contained in this section.]

(c)  [In Anne Arundel County the board of license commissioners
shall not approve any license for an establishment if an application
for a license to sell alcoholic beverages for said establishment has
been refused within one year immediately previous.] The words
"extended for the same building" as used in subsection (a) of this
section shall be construed to mean the extension of the area of the
premises licensed and shall not be construed, to mean a change in the
type or OPERATIONAL classification of a license now existing, ex-
cepting when such change is from a Class B, C or D license to a Class
A license.
