HB 1065 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Prince George's County - Board of Appeals - Membership MC/PG 106-25

HB 1065 amends Prince George's County's Board of Appeals membership rules under Maryland law. It changes the requirement for board resolutions from "at least two members" to a "simple majority" of the full board, lowering the threshold needed to pass decisions. The bill also confirms that board members must be county residents, serve four-year terms, and that meetings must be public with recorded minutes. These changes directly affect the Board of Appeals' internal operations and its interactions with residents and property owners in Prince George's County who appeal land use decisions.
