Bill Limits Licenses To Genuine Clubs
A proposed General Assembly bill would limit Frederick County liquor licenses to bona fide clubs. It would require clubs to operate for three to five years before applying for a license, a provision similar to a prior bill not passed. The measure, supported by License Commissioner G. Cleveland Trout, would not affect existing city or county licenses. Informants say many groups form clubs to seek licenses, a practice the bill aims to curb. A recent inquiry by the commissioner into a local applicant may prompt action on the application.
