Economic Development - Local Sourcing Database

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Commerce to build and maintain the Maryland Local Sourcing Portal, a searchable website that helps businesses find in‑state suppliers for tariff‑impacted goods and other inventory. Participation by local vendors is voluntary, and the portal must meet accessibility and privacy standards. The department must also report each year on the portal’s use and add a consumer‑protection rule that sellers disclose any tariffs included in a product’s price.
