LuedtkeMar 17, 2026
The Montgomery County Council passed Bill 2-26 - Taxation - Fuel-Energy Tax-Amendments on March 17, 2026, sponsored by Councilmembers Luedtke, Friedson, and Glass. The legislation expands the Montgomery County Green Bank's authority to use existing fuel-energy tax revenue to finance climate resilience and adaptation projects — such as drainage upgrades, green infrastructure, and early flood warning systems — in addition to its current renewable energy and efficiency work. The bill creates no new tax and is described as budget neutral.
