Summary

The Westminster Mayor and Common Council amended and adopted Resolution 26‑11 to express formal support for House Bill 1142, which would create a task force to review county and municipal revenue sources and report to the General Assembly by year end.

The Westminster Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution 26‑11, amended to state the council "formally supports the passage of House Bill 1142," a bill that would establish a task force to modernize county and municipal revenue sources and return a report to the General Assembly by the end of the year.

Council member Huff explained the Maryland Municipal League requested municipalities pass supportive resolutions for HB 1142 and noted that the House had passed the bill earlier in the day. "What 11 42 does is just simply form a task force, which has to give a report back to the general assembly by the end of this year," Huff said, describing the bill's intent to examine tax differentials and other revenue matters.

Huff moved to amend the resolution's language (removing an urging to a committee and substituting a statement of formal support) and later moved adoption of the amended resolution; the council adopted the measure by voice vote.
