Montgomery County Council overrides executive veto on development‑impact tax collection bill
Summary
The County Council voted to override the county executive's veto of expedited Bill 202‑24 regarding collection of development impact taxes, securing the necessary seven affirmative votes with one member absent.
The Montgomery County Council voted to override the county executive's veto of expedited Bill 202‑24, a bill addressing the collection of development impact taxes. The item was brought forward by the bill's lead sponsor, Council Member Glass, and the clerk conducted a roll‑call vote.
Council Member Lukey moved to override the veto; Council Member Friesen seconded. The roll call recorded an affirmative vote from a sufficient number of members to override the veto (Councilmember Sales was absent). Council Member Glass said the legislation reduces the cost to build housing without reducing total impact tax collections for schools, roads, and infrastructure.
No additional amendments were made on the floor; the council adopted the override and returned the legislation to its regular course.
