Bill > SB880

This bill requires the Governor to include a $250,000 annual grant in the state budget for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Maryland from fiscal years 2027 through 2030, to be administered through the Governor's Office for Children. The Governor's Office for Children is a separate unit within the Executive Department tasked with promoting the well-being of children and families, and reducing child poverty through a coordinated, comprehensive approach. The bill modifies an existing law, reducing the previously proposed annual appropriation from $5,000,000 to $250,000 and specifying a specific four-year period for the grant funding. The legislation will take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to provide operating expense support for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Maryland, an organization that typically provides after-school programs, educational support, and youth development services in local communities.
