Senate Education, Energy, and the Environment Committee and House Environment and Transportation Committee - Code References - Revisions

It changes references from the "Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee" to the "Senate Education, Energy, and the Environment Committee" and from the "House Environmental Matters Committee" to the "House Environment and Transportation Committee" throughout the Annotated Code of Maryland. The bill requires the publisher of the Code to correct all related cross-references and terminology, documenting changes in editor’s notes. This is a procedural update affecting legal references, not a new policy or regulation.
