2022 Legislative Initiatives

Census Data Update
On December 4, 2021, Administrator, Dawn Shugars addressed the Census language in State Law with the Frederick County Delegation.  It was brought to the Board's attention that an unintentional error occurred in the language during conversion to the Alcohol Beverages Article. Once the Delegation brings this to the General Assembly later in 2022, and if licenses become available, the Board will announce a fair and transparent process.  The available licenses will be advertised in the Frederick News Post, and the process will be posted to this website.
