Budget Bill (Fiscal Year 2027)

HB 390 is Maryland's 2027 state budget bill, allocating $859 million in total funding for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). It directs $208 million to civil divisions (including $203.6 million for Disparity Grants and $3.0 million for cannabis tax distributions), $163.6 million to legislative operations (like the Office of Legislative Audits), and $859.2 million to the judiciary (covering courts, public defenders, and judicial systems). The bill primarily affects state agencies and programs by authorizing specific funding amounts for their operations, with no new policy requirements. It serves as the formal appropriations framework for state government spending under Maryland's constitutional budget process.
