Bill > SB997

This bill requires the Governor of Maryland to include $200,000,000 in the annual state budget for site redevelopment and transportation infrastructure improvements if the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) applies for a permit associated with relocating the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Headquarters to Prince George's County. The bill modifies existing state law by changing the language from "relocates" to a more specific trigger related to permit applications, ensuring that significant state funding will be available to support the potential FBI headquarters project. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and represents a financial commitment by the state to support the economic development and infrastructure needs that would accompany such a major federal facility relocation. By mandating this appropriation, the bill demonstrates Maryland's proactive approach to attracting and supporting federal agency investments in Prince George's County.
