The Budget and Taxation Committee moved a favorable report on a local bill that would establish a special taxing district in Anne Arundel County to fund erosion prevention projects, House Bill 1467.

Committee members said the measure would fund erosion-control projects locally. A committee member summarized the fiscal impact as having "no effect on state finances," and the committee approved a favorable report by voice vote; exact roll-call counts were not specified in the meeting record.

The bill came up as a local measure; the committee chair indicated staff had not received an anticipated delegation letter until it was forwarded during the meeting. Committee members asked only for clarification and no additional fiscal detail was provided during the discussion.

The motion to give the bill a favorable report was made during the meeting and was adopted by voice vote. The record does not identify a formal roll-call tally, the identity of the seconder, or any recorded amendments.

Because the bill is a local special taxing district measure, committee discussion was limited to bill text and fiscal effect; no statewide fiscal impact was asserted by staff. The committee returned to other agenda items after the vote.
