 This is WFMD News. Many new laws took effect in Maryland on Monday. A bill supported by Governor Wes Moore would make it easier for data centers to be built in the state. Moore said the bill would bring more economic opportunity to Maryland, but opponents worry these data centers will put too much stress on the power grid. Lawmakers also voted to impose a $250 surcharge on EV owners every two years, and plug-in hybrid owners would have to pay $200 every two years.
