Maryland Horse Industry Board - Sunset Extension

HB 225 extends the termination date of the Maryland Horse Industry Board from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2036, ensuring the board continues operating under existing authority. This bill directly affects the Maryland Horse Industry Board and stakeholders in Maryland's horse industry who rely on the board's regulatory and policy functions. It modifies two sections of Maryland law (Agriculture, Sections 2-703 and 2-719) to update the board's sunset date without changing its core responsibilities. The extension follows Maryland's Program Evaluation Act (sunset law) process, allowing the board to maintain its current role until 2036. This is a routine legislative update to prevent automatic termination of the board's statutory authority.
