Bill Filing Deadline

2/15/2023

 
Just as I was completing my weekly email, my teammate Delegate Ariana Kelly was selected to fill the term of our now departed State Senator, Susan Lee.  Ariana's name now goes to the Governor for further action.   Congratulations Ariana!
 
We are more than one-third of the way through the 2023 legislative session and have passed the bill filing deadline, the date by which legislation must be introduced to be guaranteed a hearing.  1,226 bills have been introduced in the House and 890 in the Senate.  You can browse every House bill here. As I have shared previously, I am the primary sponsor of nine bills as well as one piece of local legislation.  Six of the bills have already had bill hearings and two more will be heard later today.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
 
The bill hearings for four pieces of legislation I have introduced occurred last week.
 
  • The Net Metering Flexibility Act would further incentivize the use of solar panels by making the program for compensating solar panel owners for excess generation more consumer friendly.  Watch the hearing here.
  • The Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority Sunset Act would require a sunset review of this forty year old authority created to build incinerators.  Watch the hearing here.
  • The Young Readers Program Expansion Act would build on a program created last year to support county-based programs that send books to young Marylanders.  Watch the hearing here.
  • The Arbitration Reform for State Employees Act would add binding arbitration to Maryland's collective bargaining law for state employees.  Watch the hearing here.
