General Assembly - Office Space, Services, and Equipment

SB 86 repeals a current prohibition that prevents counties or municipalities from paying for office space, services, or equipment used by Maryland General Assembly members. This change would allow local governments to subsidize these expenses for legislators, though it maintains an exception for liaison offices between local governments and the Assembly. The bill directly affects state legislators and local governments by altering funding rules for legislative offices. It takes effect July 1, 2026, after legislative review.
