Queen Anne's County - Circuit Court Judgeships

SB 358 increases the number of resident judges for Queen Anne's County Circuit Court from one to two. The bill amends Section 1-503 of Maryland's Annotated Code, which specifies the required number of judges per county. This change directly affects Queen Anne's County by adding one additional judicial position to its circuit court. The law will take effect on July 1, 2026, without altering other court procedures or jurisdiction.
