Bill > HB1519

This bill amends various prior state debt authorizations by changing grantee names, altering the authorized uses of grants, and extending the termination dates for numerous grant programs. The bill makes multiple modifications across different years and chapters of Maryland law, with a particular focus on redirecting funding to specific projects such as the Strathmore Hall Performing Arts Center, Adventist Healthcare Shady Grove Medical Center, Discovery Point Development Project, and several local community and healthcare facilities. Many grants that were originally allocated to one purpose or organization are now being redirected to different entities, often with an extended grant termination date of June 1, 2032. The changes impact a wide range of projects including medical centers, community centers, educational facilities, park improvements, and local infrastructure developments across various Maryland counties. The bill appears to be a comprehensive update and reallocation of existing state grant authorizations, potentially reflecting changing priorities or needs in different jurisdictions. The bill is set to take effect on June 1, 2025, and was approved by the Governor on May 20, 2025.
