Nonprofit Organizations Navigator - Termination Provision - Repeal
SB 69 repeals a sunset provision that would have ended Maryland’s nonprofit organizations navigator program on June 30, 2027. The bill directly affects nonprofit organizations that rely on the navigator for grant assistance and procedural support. It removes the automatic termination date, ensuring the navigator role - established within the Department of Commerce - continues beyond 2027 without requiring new legislation. This change preserves existing services like helping nonprofits access state grants, resolve application delays, and share funding opportunities.
