MD SB757

Sellers must disclose when a consumer good's price includes a tariff on the product or its components, along with the tariff amount; failure to disclose constitutes an unfair or deceptive trade practice under Maryland Commercial Law.

Department of Commerce required to create the Maryland Local Sourcing Portal, a searchable online database connecting Maryland businesses with in-state suppliers for tariff-impacted goods and other supplies.

Portal participation is voluntary for local sources (businesses headquartered or with principal operations in Maryland), allowing them to list supply categories and inventory availability without revealing specific stock levels.

Department must coordinate with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation, Comptroller's Office, and Department of Information Technology to identify local sources and minimize development costs.

Act takes effect October 1, 2026, and automatically sunsets on September 30, 2031 (5-year duration); annual reports to the General Assembly on portal effectiveness required by December 31 each year.
