Environment - Cox Creek Citizens Oversight Committee - Alterations

This bill updates the membership rules for the Cox Creek Citizens Oversight Committee in Maryland, which oversees dredged material management at the Cox Creek facility. The law changes the committee's composition to include representatives from various local groups, such as land trusts, waterfront communities, recreational birders, and specific residents, while removing some previous categories like the Maryland Saltwater Sport Fishermen's Association. Additionally, it clarifies the committee's role to include providing input and recommendations to the Maryland Port Administration on how dredged material is handled and its potential impact on nearby areas. The changes take effect on July 1, 2024, ensuring the committee reflects a broader range of local interests in its oversight duties.
