Mel Noland Woodland Incentives and Fellowship Fund - Reporting

HB 533 requires the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to annually report specific financial details about the Mel Noland Woodland Incentives and Fellowship Fund to two legislative committees. The report must include the exact amount of funds received from a woodland land transfer tax during the prior fiscal year, along with any uncertainties about that amount. This bill does not change how the Fund is funded or used - it only adds a transparency requirement for existing reporting. The Department must submit this report by September 30 each year, starting in 2027.
