HB 658 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Juvenile Services Education Board - Alterations

HB 658 modifies Maryland's Juvenile Services Education Board by allowing the Secretary of Higher Education and State Superintendent of Schools to appoint a designee to serve on the board instead of attending themselves. It also changes the membership terms to be staggered starting June 1, 2025, and reduces required board meetings from monthly to 10 times per year. These changes affect how the board is structured and operates, directly impacting the Governor (who appoints members), the Secretary, and the State Superintendent. The bill aims to streamline board operations while maintaining its focus on juvenile education programs in residential facilities.
