AB-25 – Monthly Reports from License Boards

Regulatory Reporting Requirements |

What Boards of License Commissioners must report each month, including violations and penalties

Maryland updated monthly reporting requirements for Boards of License Commissioners by introducing a new form to track violations and penalties, and this guidance explains what must be reported and how to submit complete reports each month.

What you need to know

  • A new reporting form must be included with monthly reports
  • Violations and penalties must now be reported separately
  • Reports are required even if there is no activity
  • New requirements begin with July 1999 reporting 

Who This Applies To

This guidance applies to:

  • Boards of License Commissioners
  • Local liquor control boards

What Changed

Maryland introduced a new reporting requirement:

  • Form COT/ATTU 19-3

This form is used to:

  • Report violations and penalties issued to retail licensees

Monthly Reporting Requirements

Boards must continue to submit:

  • Form 19
  • Form 19-1

And now must also include:

  • Form 19-3 (violation reporting)

What Must Be Reported

Reports must include:

  • Retail license activity (transfers, suspensions, revocations, etc.)
  • Violations and penalties issued

If there is no violation activity:

  • Submit the form marked “NO ACTIVITY”

Reporting Deadline

  • Begin using the new form:
    • For July 1999 activity
    • Due August 15, 1999

Purpose of the Change

The new reporting requirement supports:

  • Statewide tracking of enforcement activity
  • Data collection on violations, including sales to minors
  • Coordination with the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Control

What This Means for License Boards

Boards should:

  • Update reporting processes to include the new form
  • Track violations and penalties separately
  • Submit complete reports each month, even if no activity occurs

Important Notes

  • Reporting is required every month
  • “No activity” must still be documented
  • Data will be used for statewide analysis and reporting
