Baltimore County School Board Nominating Commission - Membership - Alterations
HB 96 modifies the membership of Baltimore County's School Board Nominating Commission by adding three new voting positions: one representing the Greater Baltimore County Chamber of Commerce, one from AFSCME Local 3 (a public employee union), and one from the Citizens Advisory Council for Gifted and Talented Education. The bill increases the commission size from 19 to 21 members and specifies the terms for all members, with some new appointees serving through 2028 or 2030. This change directly affects who nominates candidates for the Baltimore County School Board, ensuring representation from these specific community and labor groups. The bill takes effect October 1, 2026.
