Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission General Counsel and Powers of Local Planning Boards - Alterations
In the Senate - Hearing 3/26 at 1:00 p.m.
Summary
SB 1005 repeals the mandate that the Maryland‑National Capital Park and Planning Commission appoint its own general counsel. Instead, each county’s planning board must hire legal counsel for commission work in that county and will directly manage human‑resources, IT and legal services. The change aims to localize administration while preserving the commission’s ability to act as a single corporate body when needed.
