Corporations and Associations - Maryland Securities Act - Filing Fees

HB 968 increases filing fees for specific securities-related submissions under Maryland's Securities Act. It raises the fee for filings under exemption §11-601(16) from $100 to $250 per filing, and for the initial notice of federal covered securities from $100 to $250, with an additional $150 fee for subsequent notices. These changes directly affect businesses and individuals submitting these filings, such as those offering securities under certain exemptions or federal-covered securities. The fee increases will take effect October 1, 2026, with no changes to the registration fee structure for securities offerings.
