In one paragraph
Maryland's HB 1391 (2025, third reader) would have added Education Article subtitle 22 (sections 7-2201 to 7-2203) on artificial intelligence in schools: the State Department of Education would develop and periodically update K-12 guidance on classroom AI use and promote AI training, and the CTE committees would have to use that guidance before adding AI to career and technical education plans. It passed the House 128-11 and was referred to a Senate committee March 17, 2025; it died when the session ended.

What it means for business
None: the bill died when the 2025 session ended. It would have placed duties on the State Department of Education and CTE committees, not on private businesses.
Key provisions
- Would have required the State Department of Education, with relevant stakeholders, to develop, publish and periodically update K-12 guidance on classroom use and implementation of artificial intelligence
- The CTE Committee, before incorporating AI into the statewide CTE framework, and the CTE Skills Standards Advisory Committee, before recommending a post-CCR CTE pathway, would have had to use the Department's guidance and could consult it
- The Department would have promoted AI training and workforce development; funding for professional development would be as provided in the State budget
- A House amendment removed the first-reader task force and county needs-assessment provisions; the bill sets no penalties and names no enforcer
- Cross-filed with SB 906; would have taken effect June 1, 2025
