Summary

The bill orders the Department of the Environment to submit a semi‑annual report to the General Assembly on any federally‑mandated greenhouse‑gas rule changes that have been upheld by a final federal court decision. The report must also describe the steps Maryland is taking in response. This creates a regular oversight mechanism for state officials and lawmakers.
