Annual report on IT fund spending

Each year by January 15, the Secretary reports to the General Assembly. The report shows how Fund money was split among the listed programs. It also shows any discretionary spending on communication sites and equipment. Reporting follows state law. This starts July 1, 2026 and continues until June 30, 2031.

IT fund supports state networks and radios

Beginning July 1, 2026, Maryland uses the IT Investment Fund to keep the State telecommunication and computer network running. The Fund also supports the Maryland First public-safety radio system. The Secretary of Information Technology may also use the Fund for state-owned communication sites and telecom gear. These assets must be tied to state IT agreements. The Secretary decides how to split the money among these uses. These authorities last until June 30, 2031.

IT fund rules run 2026-2031

Beginning July 1, 2026, these authorities are in effect for five years. They end on June 30, 2031. After that date, the law has no force or effect.
