Maryland Department of Planning - Modernization

SB 236 updates the administrative processes for the Maryland Department of Planning by revising several state laws. It requires the State Administrator of Elections to electronically send precinct boundary maps to the Department of Planning, alters how the Department of Environment submits proposals, and updates population projection requirements for the state and counties. The bill repeals outdated provisions, including those about the State Economic Growth Commission and local reporting requirements. These changes directly affect the Department of Planning, the State Administrator of Elections, the Department of Environment, and local jurisdictions.
