Department of Information Technology - Maryland OneStop - Required State, County, and Municipal Information

SB 497 requires Maryland's Department of Information Technology to update state licenses, forms, permits, and applications on the Maryland OneStop online portal by December 1, 2025, and every two months thereafter. It also mandates that all counties and municipalities make their local licenses, forms, permits, and applications available on OneStop by July 1, 2026, with updates required every two months starting September 1, 2026. The bill directly affects state agencies, counties, and cities by standardizing how they share government services information. Its key mechanism is creating fixed deadlines for updating existing online resources, ensuring consistent public access to licensing and permitting information. This policy change aims to centralize government service access without altering the underlying licensing requirements.
