Presentment and Vaccinations

3/30/2021

 
Picture
We are in the midst of "presentment week" in Annapolis.  Under the Maryland Constitution, the Governor has six days to veto or sign bills passed by the General Assembly during the legislative session, otherwise they become law without his signature.  That means in order to be able to override a Gubernatorial veto before the next time the legislature convenes, the bill needs to be presented to the Governor this week.  If a bill is presented later than this week, the Governor will have 30 days after presentment to act on the bill.  Much of our work in Annapolis is bipartisan and collaborative, but we typically expect the majority Democratic legislature to have some disagreements with the Republican Governor.  Therefore, some bills will be passed and presented this week so the General Assembly can override any vetoes it chooses to.

The Governor announced the path forward on vaccine eligibility late last week.  By April 27, all Marylanders 16 years of age and older will be eligible for the vaccine.

The Governor also formally announced the state-supported mass vaccination site in Montgomery County that we have known was coming since last week.  It will be located in Germantown and will open in early April.

Reflecting and Vaccinations

3/2/2021

 
Picture
​As Black History Month was winding down in February, I took a few moments to reflect at Lawyers Mall in Annapolis.  For those of you who visit Annapolis, you know Lawyers Mall as the area in front of the State House that is often a public gathering spot for protesters and field trips.  I traverse it almost every day I am in Annapolis.  Since 1996, the area has been adorned by a statute of one of Maryland's premiere lawyers, Thurgood Marshall.  Because of COVID-19, we are unable to have our usual February historical presentations by Black Caucus members that are always informative and moving.
