House Bill 351 authorizes the State of Maryland to create a debt of over $1.7 billion for the Maryland Consolidated Capital Bond Loan of 2025. The proceeds from these bonds will finance state building projects, construction, and real estate acquisitions, and provide grants to local subdivisions and other organizations for development and improvement purposes. Repayment of this debt will be supported by a tax on all assessable property in the State. The bill also includes provisions for matching funds for grants, requires historical easements in some cases, and makes adjustments to previously authorized capital bond loans from 2011 to 2024.

MINOR
The bill was finalized as an Enrolled Bill, adding formal proofreading and sealing language required for the Governor's approval. The primary substantive change involves reorganizing the list of repealed prior laws to match the correct legislative history for each specific bond act, ensuring the legal text accurately reflects which previous acts are being amended or repealed.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains the same, as it still authorizes the same total state debt and covers the same capital projects; however, the technical list of repealed laws was reorganized to correct the sequence and specific sections associated with each prior bond act.
TECHNICAL
The header was updated to reflect the bill's status as an 'Enrolled Bill' and added lines for proofreading and the Great Seal presentation.
The list of repealed laws was reorganized and reordered to correctly associate each prior bond act (e.g., 2011, 2012, 2013) with its specific amended sections and subsequent legislative history.
