Maryland SB208 modifies the requirements for religious educational institutions to operate in the state. It exempts institutions that were authorized and continuously operated in Maryland before January 1, 2013, from needing a certificate of approval. Accredited religious institutions must still obtain a certificate of approval from the Maryland Higher Education Commission to operate. The bill also allows certain religious institutions to enroll Maryland students in fully online distance education programs without needing Commission registration.
