SB 1144: Clean Water Commerce Account - Contracts for the Purchase of Environmental Outcomes

This bill updates Maryland's Clean Water Commerce Account to allow the Department of the Environment to purchase nitrogen load reductions from projects that help meet the Chesapeake Bay's water quality goals. It enables flexible payment schedules that account for upfront construction costs and ties payments to verified environmental results, while also offering financial incentives to ensure projects are maintained for at least 10 years. For contracts exceeding $500,000, the law requires additional financial safeguards like performance bonds or letters of credit to guarantee that the promised environmental outcomes are actually achieved.

SB 442: Street Racing and Exhibition Driving - Prohibited Acts, Enforcement, and Penalties

This Maryland bill updates laws regarding street racing and exhibition driving by increasing penalty points and clarifying prohibited behaviors. It assigns eight points to drivers convicted of racing or exhibition driving on public highways, raising this to twelve points if the activity causes serious bodily injury. The legislation also formally defines exhibition driving as dangerous actions like skidding, swerving, or carrying passengers in unauthorized areas, making these acts illegal on any highway or public property. While maintaining existing fines and jail terms, the bill introduces specific defenses allowing drivers to argue they acted reasonably for safety or were participating in a permitted parade.
