Annotated Code - Terminology - Clergy and Churches, Faith Institutions, and Places of Worship

HB 2 updates terminology throughout Maryland's legal code to use more inclusive language. It replaces terms like "clergyman" with "member of the clergy" and "churches" with "faith institutions and places of worship" in multiple statutes across various code articles (including Alcoholic Beverages, Business Regulation, Education, and Health). The bill does not change legal policies or create new requirements - it only modifies how these entities are referenced in existing law. This terminology change applies to all relevant sections of the Annotated Code of Maryland, ensuring consistency with modern, inclusive language.
