Summary
Maryland will raise the amount of retirement income that public‑safety workers can subtract from their state taxable income, moving from $15,000 now to $20,000 by 2029. The increase is phased in each year and applies to retirees who are at least 55 and receive pension income from a public‑safety employment. This change reduces tax liability for those retirees.
