Ch. 5

1993 LAWS OF MARYLAND

This section is reorganized to place all counties and Baltimore City in the standard
alphabetical arrangement. The exclusionary subsection, (n), is repealed because each
county is mentioned in the body of the section, with jurisdictions that do not have a Class
A (beer) license so noted.

In reorganizing, a conflict between the provisions of subsection (c) and (n) arose
concerning Anne Arundel County and its Class BP license. In a letter dated June 15,
1992, Anne Arundel County Board of License Commissioners Chairman Thomas E.
Riggin advised that the Class BP license was in error and requested its removal. The Class
BP license in Anne Arundel County is a mistake that occurred in Chapter 614 of the Acts
of 1961.'

In Talbot County, the provisions of section 206 of this article permit the Talbot
County Council to enact retail alcoholic beverage laws for that county; thus, see new
subsection (v). Since Talbot County is not listed among the group of counties to which the
exclusionary section applies and no specific license fee is set forth, the general license fee
($25) applies.
