Constitutional Officers – Gender–Neutral Language

SB 733 would update gendered language in Maryland's Constitution to be gender-neutral for constitutional officers. It specifically changes terms like "his" and "him" to neutral references (e.g., "the Governor's" instead of "his") across Articles II (Executive), V (Attorney General), VI (Treasury), and IX (Militia). The bill only alters wording in the constitution - no powers or duties of these offices would change. This affects how Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State’s Attorneys, and Treasury officers are formally referenced in state law.
