Summary

The bill doubles the maximum credit a Maryland resident can claim for expenses incurred processing a harvested antlerless deer and donating the meat to a qualified charity. Individuals can claim up to $75 per deer, but the total credit cannot exceed $600 per tax year. The change aims to encourage more venison donations to nonprofit programs.
