The Alcoholic Beverage Subcommittee unanimously approved a technical amendment described in the hearing as item 153022 that inserts clarifying citations into state or local law to permit the Pimlico liquor license to remain active while the Pimlico facility is reconstructed.
The chair explained the amendment’s purpose as a technical clean-up intended to preserve a license during reconstruction and referenced prior committee discussion. There were no questions from the committee. The subcommittee took a roll-call vote and adopted the amendment and the bill as amended; Delegates Addison, Boyce, Smith and Clippinger all voted yes. The measure will be forwarded to the full Baltimore City delegation for the scheduled Friday hearing.
The amendment does not change the operational terms of the license; it modifies statutory citations to avoid unintended loss of licensure during a reconstruction project.
The bill and its amendment will next be considered at the full city-delegation hearing on Friday. Any further changes or requests for clarifying statutory language will be handled at that time.
