HB 825 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Maryland Small Business Retirement Savings Board - Membership - Alteration

HB 825 amends Maryland law to add the Comptroller or their designee as a voting member of the Maryland Small Business Retirement Savings Board. Currently, the board includes the State Treasurer, Secretary of Labor, and nine appointed experts; this bill formally adds the Comptroller to the membership list. The change renumbers the existing membership structure but does not alter the board's responsibilities for overseeing small business retirement savings programs. The amendment takes effect October 1, 2025.
