One of my major initiatives since being elected to the legislature has been expanding energy storage in the state of Maryland.  Energy storage, which includes technology such as batteries, has many beneficial uses including serving as back-up power, providing frequency regulation to the electric grid, and allowing for micro-grids totally disconnected from our legacy electric system.  But the most exciting benefit of electric storage to me is pairing storage with intermittent renewables, which will allow us to use more wind and solar for electricity generation.  Last week, the Economic Matters Committee held a hearing on my legislation, the Energy Storage Study Act.  ​

Bill Introduction Deadline

2/14/2017

 
February 10 was the bill introduction deadline in the Maryland House of Delegates, the date by which a bill must be introduced in order to be guaranteed a hearing.  1,526 bills and nine resolutions were introduced in the House by the deadline.  Bills introduced after the deadline require a vote of the House to be filed and then are referred to the Rules Committee, which must vote them out and into the normal legislative process.  Late-filed bills have great difficulty moving towards passage.
