A bill to repeal the sunset clause in Baltimore’s Inclusionary Housing Law will go before the entire council with a favorable recommendation from the Land Use and Transportation Committee.

A bill amending the Baltimore City Charter to create a non-lapsing fund for public school construction and maintenance is set for final passage. City voters must approve any amendment to the charter. During last week’s council meeting, an amendment was added stripping the bill of a provision that allowed the council to direct fines and fees to the fund. Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke, D-District 14, said the amendment “gutted” the bill.
