One bill. 239 pages.
Our food trucks on the line.
Bill 61-26 rewrites Article 18 — the county's entire zoning code. Buried inside are provisions that could ban or severely restrict food trucks, including keeping them out of places they've operated for years. A public hearing was held September 21. The fight now moves to the County Council meeting on October 5.
The Bill
Bill 61-26 is a 239-page overhaul of county zoning. Food truck owners and advocates say its new restrictions would make it nearly impossible for many trucks to operate — threatening livelihoods across Anne Arundel County.
The Pushback
Food truck owners packed the September 21 hearing and local news covered their stand. The message was clear: these are small, family-run businesses — not a problem to be zoned out of existence.
