Bill Summary

Authorizing a local jurisdiction to authorize any person aggrieved by a decision of a historic preservation commission to appeal the decision to the board of appeals of the local jurisdiction or the appropriate circuit court.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning historic preservation, allows local governments in Maryland to grant individuals who are unhappy with a decision made by their historic preservation commission (a body that oversees the protection and management of historic sites and buildings) the option to appeal that decision. This appeal can be made to the local jurisdiction's board of appeals, which is a group that reviews administrative decisions, or to the appropriate circuit court, which is a higher level of court. This provides an additional avenue for recourse beyond the existing appeal process.
