INDEPENDENT AGENCIES
In Maryland, independent agencies are part of the executive branch of government. They
are those offices, commissions, boards, departments, and other agencies of State
government established by statute as independent units of government.
Generally, the law creating an independent agency originates with the General Assembly,
but occasionally an agency is formed pursuant to a mandate of the United States
Congress. While statutorily distinct from principal departments of State government,
independent agencies may receive budgetary or administrative support from them.
For agencies that have concluded their work, see Defunct Independent Agencies
