74.

(e) IN ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, THE FEE FOR
ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF A LICENSE IS $200. THIS DOES
NOT APPLY TO A CLUB LICENSE. The board of license
commissioners for Anne Arundel County shall not approve
an application for transfer of a license unless all
obligations of the transferrer (former licensee)
pertaining to the licensed establishment have been fully
paid or some arrangement concerning debts and obligations
satisfactory to his creditors has been made. The board
shall not be bound by this prohibition unless a bona fide
creditor submits his claim, under affidavit, to the board
prior to the hearing held on the transfer and the claim
involves an indebtedness which was incurred in the
operation of the licensed premises. The provisions of
this subsection shall also apply to an application for a
new license whenever it shall appear to the board that
the application for a new license is being used as a
subterfuge for avoiding the aforesaid provisions
regarding transfer of licenses.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect July 1, 1975.

Approved April 22, 1975.
