Bill > HB169

This bill designates the Natural History Society of Maryland as the official State Natural History Museum. Specifically, the legislation adds a new section to Maryland's General Provisions code that explicitly recognizes the Natural History Society of Maryland in this official capacity. The bill involves renumbering an existing section of the legal code to accommodate this new designation, and the change will take effect on October 1, 2025. While the bill is brief, it represents a formal acknowledgment of the Natural History Society of Maryland's significant role in preserving and presenting the state's natural history, potentially providing the organization with increased recognition and potentially additional resources or support through its official state designation.
