Maryland-Ireland Trade Commission - Membership and Termination - Altered and Extended

SB 363 amends Maryland law to adjust the membership structure and extend the lifespan of the Maryland-Ireland Trade Commission. It reduces the number of Senate and House members from two each to one each, requires appointed members to have ties to Irish affairs, and specifies two private sector members. The bill extends the commission's termination date from 2026 to September 30, 2028, ensuring continued operation. The commission’s purpose remains studying and promoting trade between Maryland and Ireland, with members serving without pay but reimbursed for expenses. This is a procedural bill affecting the commission’s composition and duration, not new trade policies.
