SB 1002 Prince George's County - Alcoholic Beverages - Class AER (Equity Retail) License "Establishing a Class AER (equity retail) beer, wine, and liquor license in Prince George's County; authorizing the Board of License Commissioners for Prince George's County to issue the license to an applicant that is certified as a minority business enterprise by the county for use only in certain areas, subject to certain requirements; limiting to 2 licenses per year and a total of 10 licenses under the Act the number of Class AER licenses that the Board may issue; and authorizing an annual license fee of $910." *(AER isn't *quite* a full acronym; Maryland liquor licenses are mostly distinguished by different letters but they can have certain subcategories which do have acronyms, eg this subcategory of Class A ("Alcohol dispensaries, supermarkets, & convenience stores") for "equity retail").

But wait, there's more ( #NotableMarylandBills)! One more bill anyhow: SB 1002 from the Prince George's County Senators, heard today by the Senate Finance Committee, would establish a "Class AER* (Equity Retail) beer, wine, & liquor license" in their county: mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/L...

Good afternoon & welcome to the last Monday edition of #NotableMarylandBills (At least some poor Delegate or Senator REALLY steps in it & gets their bill assigned for a hearing on Sine Die)... Starting w/ a rare post-Crossover Senate hearing last Tues...

Good afternoon & welcome to a relatively quick #NotableMarylandBills! No actual bill hearings today but I figured this was as good a day as any to catch up w/ the handful of original chamber bills heard last week & a few big ones making their way over to the opposite chamber...

Good afternoon & welcome to the first post-Crossover edition of #NotableMarylandBills for #MDGA26! We've got one (1) House straggler & a couple bills from each chamber hoping to gain favor on the other side of Lawyers Mall today so let's dig in...

Good afternoon & welcome to the last #NotableMarylandBills thread before Crossover. To be quite honest, I haven't yet decided what, if anything, I'm going to do w/ the thread for the last 3 weeks of #MDGA26; if previous experience is any indication, probably not much....

Good morning & welcome to the penultimate #NotableMarylandBills of #MDGA26 before Crossover! Only 3 committees today, all in the House, only 1 tomorrow, also in the House & the one tomorrow is only hearing 2 bills & tbh one of those 2 is pretty dry so that's going to be a real quick one...

Good morning & welcome to another brief (& in this case, House-only) Wed. edition of #NotableMarylandBills! Only 4 committees are hearing bills today & we're just not really doing big bills at this point...

Good morning & welcome to the Tues. edition of #NotableMarylandBills! Today's a *little* busier than Mon. if still rather on the light side as both chambers spend way more time on the floor than in committee hearing rooms but still busy enough...

Good morning & welcome to the Mon. edition of #NotableMarylandBills & w/ it the start of the last wk. before Crossover (When, based off the past few years, I expect this thread to die down at least a little bit). Just one committee w/ bill hearings today: House Rules & Executive Nominations..

Good afternoon & welcome, a day late, to the Fri. edition of #NotableMarylandBills! It's been a pretty hectic pace in Annapolis over the last month or so when it comes to new bill hearings but we've finally reached the point where that abruptly shifts in the opposite direction as Crossover looms...

HB 1436 Office of the Attorney General - Federal- and State-Assisted Housing Programs - Grievance Process "Requiring the Office of the Attorney General to investigate certain grievances and mediate certain resolutions between the clients and providers of certain federal- and State-assisted housing programs; establishing procedures for the filing, review, and investigation of certain grievances; requiring the Office to inform a grievant of certain legal services and provide assistance to certain legal service providers in relationship to a grievance; etc."

Picking Thurs.'s #NotableMarylandBills back up w/ 5 out of Economic Matters, including HB 1436 from Del. Jason Buckel, which would establish a grievance process through OAG for clients in "assisted housing programs": mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/L...

Good afternoon & welcome to the Thurs. edition of #NotableMarylandBills! Budget & Taxation's busy budgeting but the Senate Education, Energy, & the Environment Committee isn't so we'll start w/ them...

OK, picking #NotableMarylandBills back up w/ the last 3 House committees from Wed., beginning w/ Government, Labor, & Elections...

Back w/ the House side of Wed.’s #NotableMarylandBills, beginning w/ 4 out of Appropriations.

Good morning & welcome to the Wed. edition of #NotableMarylandBills! I suspect we'll get to most of today's entries in the afternoon & evening but I think I've at least got enough time to start things off w/ 4 bills out of the Senate Budget & Taxation Committee, 2 of them from Sen. Ron Watson...

Back w/ the House side of Tues.'s #NotableMarylandBills, beginning w/ 5 out of Appropriations...

Good afternoon & welcome to the Tues. edition of #NotableMarylandBills. Starting off w/ the Senate & specifically w/ 4 out of the Education, Energy, & the Environment Committee....

Good afternoon & welcome to a pretty short Monday edition of #NotableMarylandBills! That's because only one committee had bill hearings today & go figure it was the House Rules & Executive Nominations Committee....

Good morning & welcome to the Thurs./Fri. edition of #NotableMarylandBills. We've got a decent amount of bills from yesterday to cover & honestly not a bad amount for today so let's get going...

Back w/ the House's #NotableMarylandBills for Wed. now, beginning, because APP was busy w/ budget hearings, w/ 5 out of Economic Matters, 2 of them bills to expand where alcohol can be sold....

Good morning & welcome to a special Wed./Thurs. edition of #NotableMarylandBills! I'm going to try to stick to the 5-bill limit for committees I discussed the other day as much as possible but a couple will inevitably stretch that, including Senate Budget & Taxation yesterday...

Good afternoon & welcome to another week of #NotableMarylandBills! The Senate's actually got a (*relatively*) manageable docket today, the House not so much. Guess which chamber we're starting with?

Good evening & welcome to a medium-sized Fri. edition of #NotableMarylandBills, beginning, because B&T's done for the week, w/ 2 bills out of the Senate Education, Energy, & the Environment Committee, both from Sen. Ron Watson....

Good morning & welcome to the Thurs./Fri. edition of #NotableMarylandBills! That's right, we're officially to that point in session where A: I'm having to do day-late & multiday threads to catch up w/ all the big bills being heard in Annapolis & B: where multiple committees are doing Fri. hearings!

Wed.'s #NotableMarylandBills, Part II starts now. Beginning w/ what's usually the last House committee but was also the busiest one yesterday so it goes first, Ways & Means...

Good afternoon & welcome to what looks to be a pretty packed Wed. edition of #NotableMarylandBills so let's dig right in w/ 3 bills out of the Senate Budget & Taxation Committee....

OK, #NotableMarylandBills, Tues. edition, part II. Back to the House, beginning w/ 5 out of Appropriations...

speaking of #NotableMarylandBills will Ferguson survive this redistricting debacle?

Good morning (just!) & welcome to the Tues. edition of #NotableMarylandBills! Happy Md. Filing Deadline Day to my fellow ET (EB? Whatever) nerds. Diving right in but instead of starting w/ the Senate, beginning w/ a TON of bills from the House Judiciary Committee...

Good morning & welcome to the first Monday edition of #NotableMarylandBills for #MDGA26. It's not a long one, less because of last night's snowstorm & more because it's the House of Delegates' turn to have Liquor Law Day today & most of the highlights got covered when the Sen. had their turn on Fri.
