Economic Development - Local Sourcing Database

SB 757 requires businesses selling consumer goods to disclose any import tariffs included in the product's price and creates the Maryland Local Sourcing Portal - a free, searchable online database developed by the Department of Commerce. The portal connects businesses with local suppliers of tariff-affected goods (like imported materials) using industry codes, while ensuring accessibility and privacy compliance. It applies directly to businesses selling consumer goods (for tariff disclosure) and local suppliers (for voluntary portal participation). The law takes effect October 1, 2026, and expires automatically on September 30, 2031.
