Bill > HB263

This bill requires buses operating on local bus routes, funded and operated by a county or municipal corporation or their contractors, to allow passengers to get on and off at the entrance of early voting centers if those centers are located within half a mile of the bus route. This provision applies to early voting days and excludes express, commuter, Maryland Transit Administration, and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority bus routes. The bill aims to improve accessibility to early voting locations for bus riders and will take effect on January 1, 2027.
