Information Technology - Artificial Intelligence - Policies and Procedures (Artificial Intelligence Governance Act of 2024)
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a framework for the responsible use of artificial intelligence within Maryland state government by creating a new subcabinet and requiring agencies to conduct annual inventories of their AI systems and impact assessments. It mandates that the Department of Information Technology develop policies for the development, procurement, and deployment of AI while prohibiting certain agencies from using AI in specific high-risk scenarios until further guidelines are set. The legislation also introduces a formal competitive procurement method called "proof of concept" to test new AI products and services, while exempting certain financial and higher education offices from some of these requirements.

Commercial Law – Consumer Protection – Sale and Resale of Tickets
Maddy summarySenate Bill 539 strengthens consumer protections for ticket buyers by requiring sellers to clearly display the total price, including all fees and taxes, before a purchase is finalized. The law limits the fees that secondary ticket exchanges can charge to a maximum of 10% of the original ticket price and generally prohibits resellers from selling tickets for more than the initial purchase cost. Additionally, the bill mandates that ticket issuers and resellers provide refunds in specific situations, such as when an event is canceled or if a ticket turns out to be counterfeit. By clarifying definitions and restricting certain sales practices, the legislation aims to increase transparency and fairness in the resale of entertainment and sports tickets.
