Providing that reserve funds of a Senate Bill 576 - Cooperative Housing Corporations and Condominiums - Emergency Use of Reserve Funds provides cooperative housing corporations and condominium associations with limited flexibility in times of emergency.

Senate Bill 452 – Historic Motor Vehicles – Minimum Age

Did you know current Maryland law still treats anything made after 1999 as not historic? That can change with your help. Sign up today to testify on Wednesday.

Senate Bill 452 updates our vehicle laws to define a historic motor vehicle as one that is at least 25 years old, reflecting the reality that cars from the 2000s and later are given their restored historic title. There is also a grandfather clause for those previously eligible.

Senate Bill 452 is Cross-filed with Delegate Steve Johnson, of Harford County

During last year's legislative session, difficult decisions were made to retain funding across a variety of programs. Senate Bill 424 - State Transfer Tax - Land Preservation Special Fund - Revenue Allocation restores $75 million of the $100 million that was taken from Program Open Space.

According to the Department of Natural Resources, more than 7,100 park and conservation area projects have been assisted through Program Open Space local grants. If you're one of those, who have been helped through Program Open Space, consider testifying on it's behalf.

Sign up today by 6:00 p.m. to testify on Senate Bill 424 in the Budget & Taxation Committee hearing on February 18, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.

Senate Bill 425 - State Archives - Record Services - Fees prohibits the Maryland State Archives from establishing any new fees unless they go through the formal regulatory process, unless those fees are already included in the existing fee schedule. However, they would retain the authority to adjust fees currently listed without additional regulatory review.

This is particularly important given that last year there was an attempt to implement a $0.20 per-page viewing fee, which would have significantly impacted land title companies, realtors, and other businesses that rely on record access.

Ultimately, those increased costs would not stop with industry professionals, they would be passed down to Marylanders in the form of higher closing costs, service fees, and overall transaction expenses.

Sign up today by 6:00 p.m. to testify on Senate Bill 425. The hearing will be on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. in the Budget & Taxation Committee hearing.

Senate Bill 581 - Department of Information Technology - Statewide Information Technology Master Plan - Reporting requires the Department of Information Technology to update its IT Master Plan within one year of each Gubernatorial term and to provide an annual briefing to the Maryland General Assembly.

Sign up on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 by 6:00 p.m., to testify on Thursday, February 19, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. in Education, Energy, and the Environment Committee hearing.
