State Designations - State Natural History Museum - Natural History Society of Maryland

SB 64 designates the Natural History Society of Maryland as Maryland's official State Natural History Museum by amending the Annotated Code of Maryland. The bill renumbers Section 7-325 to 7-326 and adds a new Section 7-325 to formally state: "The Natural History Society of Maryland is the State natural history museum." This is a procedural designation with no new funding or policy changes; it solely grants the Society the official title. The law takes effect October 1, 2025.
