Treasurer Current Maryland Manual On-Line information: http://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/08conoff/html/04treasf.html The Constitution of 1776 provided for two State Treasurers - the Treasurer of the Eastern Shore, and the Treasurer of the Western Shore - each elected by the House of Delegates. These two offices were consolidated by the General Assembly in 1841. The Constitution of 1851 provided that a single Treasurer of the State should be elected by joint ballot of both houses of the General Assembly. Not until 1973 did the Legislature elect the first full-time State Treasurer. The State Treasurer serves a four-year term coinciding with that of the Governor. pp. 196-200 of Dan Friedman, The Maryland State Constitution (Westport, CT: Praeger, 2006).
