Committee votes to go into executive session to review FY26 DBM budget estimates
Summary
The Transformation and Finance Committee voted to move into a closed executive session to review confidential FY2026 Department of Budget and Management (DBM) budget estimates; the chair read the statutory authority (Annotated Code of Maryland §3‑305(b)(13)) and the motion was seconded and declared unanimous.
At the conclusion of the public portion of the Transformation and Finance Committee meeting, the committee chair read a statutory statement invoking the legal basis to close the meeting for confidential budget discussion. The chair cited Annotated Code of Maryland, General Provisions Article §3‑305(b)(13) and stated the committee would review FY2026 confidential DBM budget estimates and requests.
A committee member made a motion to enter executive session and another member seconded. The committee chair called for a vote: three members said “aye” aloud and the chair declared the vote unanimous. The public portion ended and the committee adjourned into the closed executive session; the chair reminded the public the budget information discussed in the closed session is embargoed and may not be shared outside the board.
The motion and the statutory citation were recorded in the meeting transcript; no budget figures were disclosed in the public portion because the board stated the FY26 budget estimates are confidential and embargoed under state law.
