Delegation considers HB 96 to expand Baltimore County board nominating commission
Summary
House Bill 96 would add two members to the Baltimore County Board nominating commission (AFSCME and a gifted-and-talented advisory seat), formally update a chamber seat and stagger terms to preserve continuity; the sponsor said stakeholders support the change.
Sponsor Delegate Phillips described HB 96, which would increase the Baltimore County Board nominating commission from 19 to 21 members by adding representatives from AFSCME Local 3 and the Citizens Advisory Council for Gifted and Talented Education, and updating the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce seat. The bill also creates a staggered transition plan for terms expiring in 2028 or 2030 to preserve continuity.
Delegates asked whether the additional members made the commission unmanageably large; the sponsor and proponents said the change is modest and intended to broaden stakeholder representation without creating operational difficulty.
The committee completed the informational hearing on the bill; no vote was recorded.
