The law provides $1.775 million for College Park Academy’s multipurpose and gym space in Prince George’s County. That is $225,000 less than the earlier listed allocation of $2 million.
Local development projects get smaller grants
The law cuts Viva White Oak capital funding in Montgomery County from $6 million to $2 million. It removes the separate $5 million grant authorization for the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore’s Strategic Operations Center. Baltimore’s Inner Harbor Promenade infrastructure grant falls from $38 million to $35 million. The remaining promenade money is limited to the listed capital improvements.
Maryland lowers older bond borrowing limits
The law reduces borrowing authority under eight earlier capital bond loans. The cuts are $105,399 for 2013, $415,736 for 2017, and $353,801 for 2019. They are $6.721129 million for 2020, $1.504097 million for 2021, and $426,338 for 2022. The 2023 limit falls by $16.099 million, and the 2024 limit falls by $39.1995 million. These changes reduce authorized borrowing, not a stated household tax bill.
Unused capital funding expires in 2032
The Board of Public Works must spend or commit the law's loan proceeds by June 1, 2032. After that date, authorizations for money neither spent nor committed are canceled. Any issued bond proceeds are handled under Maryland's rules for unused loan proceeds. This deadline applies to state funding, not household obligations.
Rental housing fund receives less money
The Partnership Rental Housing Fund authorization falls from $8 million to $6 million. That leaves $2 million less for rental housing program financing. The law does not state how many homes or households are affected.
Four university building allocations shrink
The law cuts Baltimore’s Health Sciences Research Facility III and Surge Building funding from $3.6 million to $3.29826 million. College Park’s A. James Clark Hall construction and initial equipment funding falls from $25.452 million to $25.338004 million. Morgan State’s Student Services Support Building allocation falls from $4.851 million to $3.851 million. Global Campus’s Adelphi Building design, construction, and renovation allocation falls from $1.5 million to $1.073662 million. These provisions change capital funding, not student eligibility or tuition.
University building projects lose prior funding
Towson's 2023 health professions building allocation falls from $41.079609 million to $38.079609 million, a $3 million cut. Morgan State's 2024 Carter–Grant–Wilson renovation allocation falls from $4.445 million to $1.945 million, a $2.5 million cut. That renovation can still start before all completion funds are appropriated. The law removes Adelphi Building allocations of $650,000 from 2023 and $1.2485 million from 2024. These are capital funding changes, not changes to student aid or eligibility.
Cannabis incubator spaces lose capital funding
The law removes the $2 million 2023 bond allocation for Maryland Economic Development Corporation cannabis incubator spaces. The former allocation depended on enactment of HB 556 or SB 516. This change removes that listed capital funding, not a stated payment to individual businesses.
Historic project grants carry preservation requirements
Before bond spending is approved, covered grantees must grant preservation easements for affected individually listed or individually eligible historic properties. The Maryland Historical Trust Director sets acceptable easement terms. The Director can waive this duty if properties are adequately represented or protected, or an easement is impractical. The Trust can accept a leasehold easement when a grantee leases the property. Appeals end with the Trust Board; no further administrative appeal or judicial review is allowed.
Behavioral health facilities gain matched funding
The law provides $8 million for community mental health, addiction treatment, and developmental disability facilities. Brook Lane gets $2.979 million for a therapeutic recreation facility in Washington County. MedStar Montgomery Medical Center gets $100,000 for inpatient behavioral health facilities at its Addiction and Mental Health Center. Sheppard Pratt’s Towson campus gets $185,000 for its adolescent neuropsychiatric unit, $79,000 for its adult unit, and $97,000 for day hospitals. Brook Lane, MedStar Montgomery, and Sheppard Pratt must provide equal matches; spending before the law took effect can count.
Birthing center upgrades require hospital matches
CalvertHealth Medical Center gets $3.972 million to improve the labor and delivery area of its Family Birth Center. St. Agnes Healthcare gets $1.986 million for its Family Birthing Center in Baltimore City. Both grants cover design, construction, renovation, and equipment. Each hospital must provide an equal match; spending before the law took effect can count. The law does not specify patient savings or eligibility changes.
Cancer care grants include matching requirements
UPMC Western Maryland gets $500,000 for radiation therapy equipment in Allegany County. The University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center gets $500,000 to expand and equip its oncology treatment center. Greater Baltimore Medical Center gets $1.28 million for its Radiation Oncology Center in Baltimore County. Greater Baltimore Medical Center must provide an equal match; spending before the law took effect can count. These grants do not set patient eligibility or treatment prices.
Children’s care facilities receive project funding
Kennedy Krieger Children’s Hospital gets $4 million for its inpatient specialty rehabilitation unit in Baltimore City. The hospital must provide an equal match, and spending before the law took effect can count. Montgomery County gets $200,000 for its Infant and Toddlers facility. The law also provides $942,000 to begin designing a children’s high-intensity residential treatment center at the Regional Institute for Children and Adolescents–Baltimore. These grants do not establish individual rights to placement or household payments.
Children's Inn gets matching kitchen grant
Children's Inn at NIH gets $208,000 for a community kitchen and dining lounge in Montgomery County. The grant covers design, construction, and equipment for the renovations. The organization must provide an equal match, and spending before the law's effective date can count. The grant does not directly pay households.
Hospital upgrades require matching funds
Emergency department grants provide $887,000 for Carroll Hospital Center and $90,000 for Northwest Hospital Center in Baltimore County. Howard County General Hospital gets $733,000 for its observation unit; Atlantic General Hospital gets $79,000 for sterile processing in Worcester County. Frederick Health Hospital gets $100,000 for its operating suite; MedStar Southern Maryland gets $100,000 for urology and operating-room work. Each recipient must provide an equal match, and spending before the law took effect can count. The grants do not specify patient cost savings or eligibility changes.
Medical facilities get grants requiring matches
TidalHealth Peninsula Regional gets $2.226 million for a new Family Medicine Residency Clinic in Wicomico County. Johns Hopkins Hospital gets $172,000 for its pediatric emergency psychiatric unit in Baltimore City. University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center gets $106,000 for an emergency department forensic nursing treatment area in Anne Arundel County. Each must match its grant dollar for dollar; spending before the law's effective date can count. University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center also gets a matching grant for its Primary Care Clinic; the provided text states no amount.
Primary care facilities receive construction grants
The law provides $3.5 million for buying, building, renovating, and equipping buildings used as Federally Qualified Health Centers. Chase Brexton gets $50,000 for additional primary care and behavioral health space serving low-income people in Anne Arundel County. It also gets $250,000 for the Glen Burnie medicine and behavioral health buildout serving low-income people. Mercy Medical Center gets $1.931 million to bring together and expand primary care space on its Baltimore City campus. Mercy must provide an equal match, and spending before the law took effect can count.
Capital grants require matches with exceptions
Covered capital grantees must match the lesser of the state grant or the amount certified by the Board of Public Works. State money, real property, donated goods or services, and earlier spending generally cannot count; the Board resolves match disputes. Proof is due June 1, 2027, or the loan money is redirected to other legally allowed uses. Multiple covered grants add together, but each has a separate match unless the law says otherwise. For a Harford County project with a $973,000 allocation, spending before the law took effect can count.
