Ch. 114

LAWS OF MARYLAND

the sale of alcoholic beverages has been maintained for at least
six months prior to the application for this permit except that
in the case of a newly licensed establishment the board of
license commissioners may immediately authorize the issuance of a
special Sunday "on-sale" permit if in the opinion of the board
and upon good cause shown the newly licensed establishment meets
the specifications of paragraph (1) of this subsection pertaining
to the preparation, serving and sale of food and provided further
that the holder of the license complies with the provision of
this paragraph (4). Applicants for a special Sunday "on-sale"
permit shall furnish the board of license commissioners with any
proof as it considers necessary indicating the qualifications of
the establishment to be issued this permit.

The holder of a special Sunday "on-sale" permit is subject
to all other provisions of this article pertaining to beer, wine
and liquor licenses, Class B, in force and effect in Prince
George's County, except that any restrictions on the sale of
alcoholic beverages on Sunday appearing in § 103 and elsewhere
may not apply. Holders of this permit shall submit to the board
from time to time at regular intervals to be established by the
board, a statement indicating in detail the ratio of food sales
to the sales of alcoholic beverages. If the average daily
receipts from the sale of food fail for three successive months
to equal 40 percent of the total daily receipts from the sale of
food and alcoholic beverages the board shall cancel this permit.
It is permissible for the licensee of a Class B, beer, wine and
liquor license with a special Sunday "on-sale" permit and the
licensee of a Class BH license to sell beer, wine and liquor by
the drink from the bar or a cocktail lounge to persons on the
licensed premises.

The board of license commissioners is authorized to adopt
these rules and regulations as it considers necessary relating to
the issuance, suspension and cancellation of these permits in
furtherance of this subsection.

The annual fee for a special Sunday "on-sale" permit is
[$500] $700, which is in addition to the annual fee for the beer,
wine and liquor license, Class B, to which it is attached.
