EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONS, COMMITTEES,
TASK FORCES, & ADVISORY BOARDS

In Maryland, executive commissions, committees, task forces, and advisory boards are created or authorized by action of the Governor or General Assembly. Through these special study boards, the Governor draws upon the expertise of private citizens and public servants to help solve problems of government. Often, these boards are assigned a specific area of inquiry or responsibility and must complete their work by a prescribed date. They may receive staff or other administrative support from an executive department or agency.
