Bill Summary
Authorizing the County Council of Baltimore County, beginning in 2027, to enact a local law granting the Baltimore County Office of the Inspector General the same authority over Baltimore County Public Schools that the Inspector General has over a department of county government.
AI Summary
This bill allows the Baltimore County Council to pass a local law, starting in 2027, to give the Baltimore County Inspector General the same oversight powers over Baltimore County Public Schools that the Inspector General already has over county government departments. The Inspector General is an independent official responsible for investigating waste, fraud, and abuse within the county government. The bill also expresses the General Assembly's intent that if the County Council grants this authority, the local law should become effective at the start of the Inspector General's next term of office, and the entire act will take effect on October 1, 2026.
