Bill > HB225

This bill extends the termination date for the Maryland Horse Industry Board, which is a state agency responsible for supporting and promoting the horse industry in Maryland. The Maryland Program Evaluation Act, often referred to as a "sunset law," requires state programs to be periodically reviewed and reauthorized to ensure they are still effective and necessary; without this reauthorization, programs would automatically expire. This bill amends existing law by changing the expiration date for the Board's authority from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2036, effectively continuing its operations for an additional ten years under the provisions of the sunset law.
