AI Summary

This bill establishes the Maryland People's Fund as a special, nonlapsing fund to be administered by the State Treasurer. The fund will consist of revenue from a 25% distribution of the state income tax paid by owners of licensed medical cannabis growers, processors, and dispensaries, as well as any other appropriations or money accepted for the fund's benefit. The fund cannot be used for administrative expenses and its investments and expenditures must follow the state budget. The bill also exempts the Maryland People's Fund from a provision that otherwise requires net interest on state funds to accrue to the general fund.
