Maryland Gubernatorial Transition Act

The Gubernatorial Transition Act governs the transfer of executive authority between an outgoing and an incoming state governor, treating an orderly handover as a matter of public interest rather than a private arrangement between administrations. It authorizes the state to furnish a governor-elect with services and facilities upon request, extends comparable assistance to the departing governor for winding down the administration, and addresses the rights of employees affected by the change. Funds are appropriated to support this assistance, and provision is made for an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action officer to serve during the transition.
