Bill Summary
Altering the frequency, from every month to every 6 months, of the reports required to be submitted by the Attorney General to the General Assembly regarding the status of the recovery of economic damages arising from the closure of the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore and the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the reporting requirements for the Maryland Attorney General regarding economic damages related to the closure of the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore and the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Currently, the Attorney General is required to submit monthly reports to the General Assembly about efforts to recover economic damages from the incident. The bill changes this requirement to require reports every 6 months instead, starting on July 1, 2024, and continuing until all legal options for recovering damages are either exhausted or resolved. The Attorney General is still mandated to pursue all available legal options, including filing lawsuits against relevant parties, to recover economic damages for the state. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to reduce the administrative burden of monthly reporting while still keeping the General Assembly informed about the ongoing recovery efforts related to this significant infrastructure incident.
