Insurance Pooling - Public Entity - Definition

SB 102 amends Maryland law to include "Resilience Authorities" as a type of "public entity" eligible for insurance pooling. This change directly affects Resilience Authorities - local government-created entities focused on infrastructure resilience projects like flood protection or climate adaptation - and allows them to join existing insurance pools with other public entities. The bill updates the definition in the Insurance Article (§19-602) to explicitly list Resilience Authorities, while referencing their definition in the Local Government Article (§22-101). This expands access to shared insurance purchasing without creating new requirements, simply clarifying who qualifies under current pooling rules.
