Summary

The bill changes the definition of an "extraordinary development district" to include sites for immersive entertainment venues and permits bond proceeds to fund their acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation. It also lets the Maryland–National Capital Park and Planning Commission pledge certain tax revenues as security for those bonds, once the county and commission adopt required resolutions. The changes aim to attract high‑cost, high‑tech entertainment projects that can generate jobs and tax revenue.
