report to the Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee and the 6

Article, the total beer production of each Class 6 license holder in the preceding fiscal year, 8

2–209. 13
(j) (1) On or before [October] DECEMBER 1 each year, the Comptroller shall 14
report to the Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee and the 15

Article, on the following, identified by jurisdiction and Class 7 license holder: 17
(i) the total beer production of the license holder in the preceding 18
fiscal year; and 19
(ii) the total sales of the license holder for on–site consumption. 20
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 21
The reporting date is modified to allow the Comptroller and the Alcohol and Tobacco 22
Commission to consolidate reports and to report statistics at the end of the year. 23
2–210. 24
(k) (1) On or before [October] DECEMBER 1 each year, the Commission shall 25
report to the Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee and the 26

(2) the number of inmates and each inmate’s age, sex, race, place of [birth 8

DRAFTER’S NOTE: 26
The reporting requirement is repealed as unnecessary. The reporting requirement 27

to the Governor and, in accordance with § 2–1257 of the State Government Article, the 14

DRAFTER’S NOTE: 16
The reporting requirement is repealed as unnecessary. This section requires the 17
Criminal Justice Information Advisory Board to report on the interoperability of 18
communication and information systems. The Board has not met in 2 years and 19
interoperability is covered by at least two other bodies. 20
Article – Economic Development 21

SENATE BILL 131 9
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 1
The reporting requirement in this section is modified to alter the reporting entity, as 2
the Maryland Longitudinal Data System Center advises that the Maryland Higher 3

(3) Ownership interests in any business entities established in accordance 6

(4) The current status of the business entities.] 8
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 9
The reporting requirement is repealed as unnecessary. The authority of the 10
University Board of Regents to establish businesses under this section has been in law for 11
a number of years and there has been no indication of legislative interest in this report for 12
some time. 13
12–306. 14
(c) (2) The Executive Director shall: 15

Commission’s website within 30 days after the date on which the compilation is submitted 2

DRAFTER’S NOTE: 4
The reporting requirement in this section is modified to alter the reporting entity, as 5
the Maryland Higher Education Commission advises that the Maryland Longitudinal Data 6
System Center is better suited to handle the reporting requirement. 7
[18–3009. 8
(a) At the end of each fiscal year, UMBC shall prepare an annual report that 9
includes an accounting of all financial receipts and expenditures that relate to the Program. 10
(b) UMBC shall submit a copy of the report to the General Assembly in 11
accordance with § 2–1257 of the State Government Article.] 12
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 13
The reporting requirement in this section is repealed as unnecessary. The Maryland 14
Technology Internship Program is well established and there has not been any indication 15
of legislative interest in this report in some time. 16
18–3607. 17
On or before December 1, 2020, and each December 1 thereafter, the Commission 18
shall report to the General Assembly, in accordance with § 2–1257 of the State Government 19
Article, on the implementation of the Maryland Community College Promise Scholarship 20

DRAFTER’S NOTE: 28
The reporting requirement in this section is modified for practicability to remove the 29
requirement that the report include the actual and potential impact of the Maryland 30
Community College Promise Scholarship program on community colleges and 4–year public 31
institutions. The Maryland Higher Education Commission advises that, due to the methods 32 SENATE BILL 131 13
needed to measure the impact, the annual requirement to report this information cannot 1
be met. 2
24–207. 3
(b) (4) (ii) The independent certified public accountant shall send copies of 4
each annual audit report to the Commission [and, subject to § 2–1257 of the State 5
Government Article, to the Department of Legislative Services]. 6
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 7
The reporting requirement is modified to remove the requirement to submit the 8
audit reports to the Department of Legislative Services. The Maryland Public Broadcasting 9
Commission posts the reports on its website as required under federal law. As a result, the 10
submission requirement is unnecessary. 11
24–703.1. 12
(a) [(1)] The Center shall develop a clear and easy–to–understand graphic data 13
dashboard that is published annually on the Center’s website with information, 14

public institution of higher education. 20
[(2) On or before December 15, 2021, and each December 15 thereafter, the 21
Center shall send to the Governor and, in accordance with § 2–1257 of the State 22
Government Article, the General Assembly a copy of the data dashboard published under 23
this subsection, as the dashboard appeared on the date it is sent.] 24
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 25
This reporting requirement is repealed as unnecessary. Dual enrollment reporting 26
is well established and publishing the information annually on the Maryland Longitudinal 27
Data System Center website is sufficient. 28
Article – Election Law 29
2–303. 30
(e) (2) Upon receipt of the [written] description and map relating to a precinct 31
boundary established during the period described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the 32 14 SENATE BILL 131
State Administrator shall immediately [forward the documents] SEND THE 1
INFORMATION ELECTRON ICALLY to the Secretary of the Department of Planning and 2
the Executive Director of the Department of Legislative Services. 3
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 4
The reporting requirement is modified to reflect that, due to changes in technology, 5
the preferred way to receive the precinct boundary information is electronically. 6
Article – Health – General 7
2–908. 8
(a) [(3) On or before December 1, 2020, the Collaborative shall report to the 9
Governor and, in accordance with § 2–1257 of the State Government Article, the General 10
Assembly on the standards and criteria that a community must meet to establish a rural 11
health complex before the Collaborative approves a rural health complex.] 12
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 13
The reporting requirement is repealed as obsolete; the one–time report was 14
submitted as required. 15
13–1303. 16
(d) [(1) On or before September 1 of each year, the University of Maryland 17
School of Nursing and the Advisory Board shall submit a report to the Governor and, in 18
accordance with § 2–1257 of the State Government Article, the General Assembly detailing 19
the operation and management of the Program, including: 20
(i) The number of individuals served by the Program; 21
(ii) The type and number of health care services provided to 22
individuals served by the Program; 23

partnerships; 25
(iv) The funding received from public and private sources; 26
(v) Funds received through third party reimbursement; 27

SENATE BILL 131 15
(viii) The impact of the Program in the communities served; and 1
(ix) Any recommendations for enhancing or furthering the purposes 2
of the Program. 3
(2)] The accounts and transactions of the Governor’s Wellmobile Program 4
shall be subject to audit by the Legislative Auditor in accordance with §§ 2–1220 through 5
2–1227 of the State Government Article. 6
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 7
The reporting requirement is repealed as unnecessary. The Governor’s Wellmobile 8
Program is well established. 9
[20–904. 10
(a) On or before December 1 of each year, each institution of higher education in 11
the State that offers a program necessary for the licensing of health care professionals in 12
the State shall report to the Governor and, in accordance with § 2–1257 of the State 13
Government Article, the General Assembly on the actions taken by the institution to reduce 14
health disparities. 15
(b) The Secretary may set standards for the form of the report required under this 16
section.] 17
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 18
The reporting requirement is repealed as obsolete as the institutions of higher 19
education are incorporating training regarding health disparities as part of the structure 20
of the programs and, therefore, the intent of the law is being met. 21
Article – Housing and Community Development 22
4–2003. 23
(d) [Every 6 months beginning] ON OR BEFORE January 1[, 2015] EACH YEAR, 24
the Department shall submit a report to the General Assembly, in accordance with § 25
2–1257 of the State Government Article, on regulations adopted under subsection (a)(5) of 26
this section to increase participation of minority businesses in the Program and the 27
outcome of that effort. 28
DRAFTER’S NOTE: 29
The reporting requirement is modified to require that the report be submitted 30
annually, rather than every 6 months. The Department of Housing and Community 31
Development advises that there are no more than three projects under the Energy Efficient 32 16 SENATE BILL 131
Homes Construction Loan Program in any given year, which may result in reports that 1
contain no information. 2
Article – Human Services 3
8–507. 4
