Bill Summary
Authorizing the governing body of Charles County to enact a local law granting an inspector general established by the county certain authority over Charles County Public Schools.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the governing body of Charles County to pass a local law, starting in 2027, that would give the county's Inspector General the same oversight powers over Charles County Public Schools as they would have over a county government department. An Inspector General is an official appointed to investigate corruption, fraud, waste, and abuse within government entities. The bill also expresses the intent that if Charles County enacts such a law, it should become effective at the start of the term following the Inspector General's initial term, and the entire act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
