Prince George’s County Council has approved two bills addressing street vending, with the measures aimed at cracking down on illegal vending and establishing designated areas for authorized vendors.
The summary of the action does not provide the bills’ numbers, their approval date, or details about how the council voted. It also does not specify what activities the bills define as illegal vending, where designated vending areas would be located, or how vendors would be authorized to operate in them.
