SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:

Article - Natural Resources

[5-911.

(a) For a municipal corporation that is located in more than one county within the
Maryland-Washington Regional District, a local project may be funded, in whole or in
part, by funds from the allocation of any county in which a portion of the municipal
corporation is located, regardless of the county in which the local project is or will be
located.

(b) Each year a municipal corporation that is located in more than one county
within the Maryland-Washington Regional District is entitled to a portion of the
allocation of funds made to each county in which the municipal corporation is located.
The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission shall calculate the
portion for each county. The portion equals the population of the municipal corporation
located within the county, divided by the population of the county, times the funds
allocated to the county. The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission
shall keep a record of the entitlement for each year.

(c) A municipal corporation that is located in more than one county within the
Maryland-Washington Regional District shall follow the approval process under this
subtitle to obtain approval to use funds from its entitlement for a local project. If a
municipal corporation does not seek or does not obtain the necessary approval to use all
of its entitlement in a given year, the funds may be used for other projects outside of the
municipal corporation. However, the balance of the entitlement shall be carried on the
records of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission until it is used
for a local project within the municipal corporation. The municipal corporation may
submit applications to draw on the entitlement in future years until it is exhausted. The
Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and each county shall use
their best efforts to accommodate a request from a municipal corporation to use the
balance of its entitlement in the year the request is received.

(d) This section applies notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle.]
