User:Praxidicae/Baltimore City Board of License Liquor Commission

Baltimore City Board of License Liquor Commission (BLLC) is an agency in the state of Maryland, tasked with regulating the sale, storage and distribution of retail alcoholic beverages in Baltimore City.

On December 5, 1933, upon successful national appeal of the Volstead Act, the legislative body of Maryland enacted emergency legislation, creating the Alcoholic Beverages Act which provided a carve-out for each county in the state and their respective alcohol licensing boards. Per this legislation, Baltimore City consists of three regular members and one alternate. All were appointed by the governor until 2015, when new legislation was introduced, stripping the governor of appointment power until 2018.
