Prince George's County, Md., Code § 5-313 (2026)

It is hereby declared that the County Council of Prince George's County, Maryland, has found that a number of establishments have been opened in Prince George's County for the purpose of offering live models for posing, sketching, photographing, and other purposes for paying customers, and that the unregulated proliferation of model studios and similar businesses disrupts the areas where they exist and facilitates the use of the premises for lewd displays and purposes. The Council further finds and declares that the licensing and regulation of model studios is required to protect and promote the public health, safety and general welfare.
