Summary

HB 1172 eliminates the requirement that a private‑sector representative be appointed as a non‑voting ex‑officio member of the Howard County Economic Development Authority board. It also reduces the minimum meeting schedule from monthly to once every two months and renames the Authority’s chief administrator to Chief Executive Officer. These changes affect the board’s composition, meeting cadence, and staff titles.
