Maryland Transportation Authority - Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge - Naming
SB 119 requires Maryland's Transportation Authority to name a new bridge replacing the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge the "Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge" upon its completion. The bill updates two sections of state law (Transportation Code sections 4-101 and 6-209) to reflect this new name in official references, including for transportation facilities and gaming vessel regulations. This naming requirement only takes effect if the new bridge opens by December 31, 2030, and the Authority must notify the state legislature within five days of the bridge opening. The bill directly affects the Transportation Authority's naming process and ensures consistent use of the memorial name in state law.
