Maryland SB48 revises public school construction regulations, including approval processes, funding, and reporting requirements.

Maryland SB48 modifies public school construction regulations by requiring county boards to seek approval from the State Superintendent before acquiring land or buildings for educational purposes. It mandates the Interagency Commission to approve 100% of the school construction allocation by May each year. The bill also establishes an appeal process for local jurisdictions to request funding for unapproved projects. Additionally, it requires the Interagency Commission to report annually on the use of solar technologies and alternative energy systems in school construction projects.
