During its 2025 session, the General Assembly of Maryland approved featuring newly enacted provisions regarding the merger and transfer of assets as collateral for securing a mortgage, pledge, or security interest. These changes became effective on October 1, 2025.
Attorney James J. Hanks, Jr. of Venable LLP provides a detailed review of the changes to Maryland’s business laws in his legislative analysis for the 2025 edition of CSC’s Maryland & DC Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated.
This edition includes the full Maryland Corporations and Associations Code from Michie's Annotated Code of Maryland updated through the 2025 legislative session as well as a curated selection of Maryland statutes covering jurisdiction and corporate taxation. We have also included the complete Business Corporation Act and related business law sections from the District of Columbia Official Code. Changes are listed in the book’s Table of Sections Affected, and Blackline Amendment Notes following each amended section reflect the exact language that was added and deleted since the 2024 edition.
Other features include fee tables for business filings for both jurisdictions, and online access to over 100 forms for incorporation/formation, qualification, mergers, dissolution, and name reservation for all business entity types in Maryland and the District of Columbia via the LexisNexis® Store download center. A listing of forms and contact information for the jurisdictions can be found in the book’s appendix.
