Annual Report to Governor & General Assembly due June 1.

In June 2008, the Maryland Youth Advisory Council was established (Chapter 559, Acts of 2008). The Council is to keep the Governor and the General Assembly apprised of issues which are important to youth in the State. The Council formulates a legislative proposal annually and conducts public hearings on issues of concern to young people.

Beginning in July 2016, the Council has twenty-four members whose two-year terms start September 1. The Governor, Senate President, and House Speaker each appoint four members. The Governor's Office for Children appoints the remaining members, four of whom are nominated by local management boards, four by the Maryland Association of Student Councils, two by the University System of Maryland Student Council, and two by the Student Advisory Council to the Maryland Higher Education Commission (Chapter 620, Acts of 2016; Code State Government Article, sec. 9-2701).
