BRADLEY SEARS, ESQ. THE WILLIAMS INSTITUTE, UCLA SCHOOL OF LAW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Same-sex marriage in Maryland will have a positive impact on the state budget of approximately $3.2 million annually. This analysis estimates the potential impact of extending marriage rights to same-sex couples on Maryland’s state budget. Drawing on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Maryland statistical reports, we estimate that extending marriage rights to same-sex couples would result in a net gain of approximately $3.2 million each year. This net gain is attributable to savings in expenditures on means- tested public benefit programs and an increase in sales and lodging tax revenue from weddings and wedding-related tourism. Our analyses are grounded in the methodology employed in previous studies examining the effect of same-sex marriage rights on the budgets of California,1 Colorado,2 Connecticut,3 Massachusetts,4 New Hampshire,5 New Jersey,6 New Mexico,7 Vermont,8 and Washington.9 Detailed accounts of these methods can be found in Putting a Price on Equality? The Impact of Same-Sex Marriage on California’s Budget.10 Findings from all of these studies suggest that extending marriage rights to same-sex couples would result in a positive impact on state budgets.
