What happened
The Maryland Board of Revenue Estimates increased its fiscal year 2027 general fund revenue forecast by $319.9 million, bringing the total projection to approximately $27.44 billion. This increase is partly due to a major refund stemming from the Potomac Edison court case. Despite this, state leaders noted that ongoing general fund revenues are expected to decline 0.9% compared with fiscal year 2026.

Why it matters
The Potomac Edison court case resulted in a major refund that impacted Maryland's revenue outlook. While the state expects to collect nearly $320 million more than previously projected this fiscal year, officials caution that the additional revenue does not eliminate the state's broader budget problems.
