University System of Maryland - Academic Facilities Bonding Authority

HB 793 authorizes the University System of Maryland to issue $30 million in bonds ($5 million for University of Maryland, College Park's campus building systems project and $25 million for systemwide academic facility renewals across all institutions). The bonds will finance construction, improvements, and refinancing of academic facilities but are explicitly stated not to create state debt or obligation. This bill directly affects all University System of Maryland institutions by providing funding for campus infrastructure upgrades. The financing mechanism is limited to specific approved projects and does not pledge the state's credit or require state repayment.
