WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                             Ch. 5

(2) The hours for sale shall be as provided in § 106(c) of this article.

[(l) This section shall not apply to Baltimore City, nor to Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Charles, Garrett, Harford, Kent, and St. Mary's Counties, in all of which
jurisdictions such licenses shall not be issued.]

DRAFTER'S NOTE:

This section is reorganized to place all counties and Baltimore City in the standard
alphabetical arrangement. The exclusionary subsection, (1), is repealed because each
county is mentioned in the body of the section, with jurisdictions that do not have a Class
C (beer) license so noted.

In reorganizing, a conflict between the provisions of subsections (c) and (1) arose
concerning Anne Arundel County and its Class BC license. In a letter dated June 15,
1992, Anne Arundel County Board of License Commissioners Chairman Thomas E.
Riggin advised that the Class BC license was in error and requested its removal. The
Class BC 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)(2). Since Talbot County is not listed among those counties covered by the
exclusionary subsection, (1), the license fee cost is specified by the general provisions
subsection, (a), and has been so noted in subsection (v)(l).

Since Somerset County is not listed among those counties covered by the
exclusionary subsection, (1), the license fee cost is specified by the general provisions
subsection, (a). That amount has been so noted in subsection (u). In a letter dated July
30, 1992, County Attorney Kirk G. Simpkins advised that, while clubs in the County have
BWL licenses, were any to apply for a beer-only license, the provisions of subsection (u)
would apply.

11.
