Maryland Veterans Trust - Board of Trustees - Membership

SB 172 amends Maryland law to add the Secretary of Disabilities as a voting member of the Maryland Veterans Trust Board of Trustees, effective October 1, 2025. The bill changes the board’s membership structure from 11 to 12 members by inserting the Secretary of Disabilities as the sixth member, alongside existing cabinet secretaries. This procedural change directly affects the composition of the Trust’s governing board but does not alter the Trust’s funding, services, or operational policies. The bill was introduced by Senator Simonaire and referred to the Education, Energy, and Environment committee.
