Maryland Protecting Opportunities and Regional Trade (PORT) Act – Reports of Attorney General – Frequency

HB 575 amends Maryland's PORT Act to change the reporting frequency for the Attorney General regarding economic damages from the Port of Baltimore closure and Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. It modifies existing law to require the Attorney General to report to the General Assembly "every 6 months" (instead of monthly) starting July 1, 2024, until all recovery efforts are resolved. The bill directly affects the Attorney General's office, which must adjust its reporting schedule, and the General Assembly, which will receive updates less frequently. The change streamlines administrative reporting while maintaining the requirement to pursue all available legal options to recover state damages. This is a procedural adjustment to existing reporting obligations under the 2024 PORT Act.
