Bill > HB877

This bill extends the timeline for the Prison Education Delivery Reform Commission by three years, specifically modifying the deadlines for submitting interim and final reports. Previously, the Commission was required to submit an interim report by June 1, 2025, and a final report by January 1, 2026. The bill changes these deadlines to June 1, 2028, for the interim report and January 1, 2029, for the final report. Additionally, the bill extends the overall effectiveness of the Act from 2 to 5 years and 1 month, with the Act set to be automatically abrogated (terminated) on June 30, 2029, instead of the original June 30, 2026. These changes will give the Commission more time to complete its work on reforming prison education delivery, allowing for a more comprehensive study and potentially more thorough recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly, as required by § 2-1257 of the State Government Article.
