Bill > HB330

This bill increases the number of voting members on the Board of Directors of the Maryland Legal Services Corporation, referred to as the "Board," from nine to twelve, with these members appointed by the Governor with the Senate's approval. The Board oversees the Corporation, which provides legal services to those who cannot afford them. The bill also adjusts the required number of lawyers and non-lawyers on the Board to reflect the increased membership, specifying that seven voting members must be lawyers admitted to the Maryland Bar and five must be non-lawyers. Additionally, it changes the number of voting members required to remove a member from the Board from seven to nine. This legislation is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
