HB 569 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Queen Anne's County - Authorized Uses of Revenues From Development Impact Fees - Expansion

HB 569 allows Queen Anne's County Commissioners to use revenue from development impact fees for capital costs related to replacing public school facilities. Previously, these fees could only fund specific infrastructure projects, but this bill expands their allowable use to include school building replacements. The change modifies Maryland's local government code (Section 20-706) to explicitly authorize this new purpose for Queen Anne's County. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026.
