Bill > HB594

This bill alters how sales and use tax revenues are distributed by requiring the Comptroller, who is the chief fiscal officer of Maryland, to pay one-third of the sales and use taxes collected and remitted from retail sales that occur within the City of Baltimore directly to the city. This change is being made to Article - Tax - General, specifically to section 2-1303, which outlines how these tax revenues are allocated after other required distributions. The bill also specifies that this new distribution to Baltimore will take effect on July 1, 2026.
