Environment - Commission on Climate Change Membership - Additions
This bill updates the membership of Maryland's Commission on Climate Change by adding two new representatives to the group. Specifically, it requires the Secretary of Emergency Management and the Chair of the Public Service Commission to serve as members, or send a designated representative in their place. These additions expand the commission's composition to include perspectives from emergency preparedness and public utility regulation. The changes take effect on October 1, 2024, and involve modifying existing state laws to reflect these new roles.
