Bill > HB967

This bill legalizes the 2025 Edition of the Somerset County Code of Public Local Laws and its supplements, specifically validating the portions of the code that contain laws originally enacted by the Maryland General Assembly. The legislation formally recognizes this edition of the county code as legally valid and authoritative, ensuring that courts and public officials across the state will accept it as legitimate evidence of the laws it contains. By doing so, the bill provides official legal standing to the county's local laws and ensures that the 2025 edition can be used as an official reference in legal proceedings. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, which provides a clear implementation date for the legalization of this county code edition. This type of legislative action is a routine but important process that helps maintain the integrity and official status of local legal codes.
