HB 1594 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Veterans' Discounts Act

HB 1594, the Veterans' Discounts Act, requires Maryland government agencies to waive certain statutory fees for veterans. It applies to fees related to agricultural licenses, business permits, environmental regulations, natural resources access, and public safety services across multiple departments. Agencies must adopt specific regulations before implementing these fee waivers. The bill formalizes existing practices by creating a clear process for veterans to access reduced fees on government services, without expanding eligibility or creating new benefits.
