 Maryland the Beautiful Act Passes!
The Maryland the Beautiful Act (SB 470, HB 631) overwhelmingly passed in both chambers of the Maryland Legislature on April 10, 2023. Governor Moore will likely sign the bill in the next week or two. This is a significant bill that establishes the following high impact programs that MET will administer including the expansion of funding for MET's Keep Maryland Beautiful grants program, a new revolving loan fund program for land trusts, statewide land conservation goals and the 40 x 40 Land Conservation Implementation Grant Program.
Learn about the Maryland the Beautiful Act and other natural resources related bills that advanced (or didn’t) during the just completed state legislative session in Forever Maryland's recorded webinar: What Happened During the 2023 Maryland General Assembly Session?
