Tips for your Testimony in the Maryland General Assembly

 

[2A Maryland]

HOLD ON!!!
Once a bill has crossed over, the Committee hearing in the opposite chamber is sponsor testimony only.

You can watch in person or via streaming video but you cannot testify.

Don't take our word for it. Look at the schedule, it IDs which bills are sponsor only. https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Committees/Details?cmte=jud
The general rule is that it is sponsor only in the other chamber where there was a cross file bill. SB1 did not have a cross file. Thus House Jud. will permit limited testimony.

Is that a standard procedure , or Chairman discretion ?

According to MSI, you are wrong

It's a general principle. But a chair has a lot of discretion, including the power simply not to hold a hearing on a cross over bill at all, or to limit testimony. Here, the Chair of House Jud. is allowing at lot of testimony on cross over bills. Which is interesting.

I may stand corrected and hope that is true. Certainly as SB 1 bears no resemblance to the original bill, as second bite at the apple is appropriate. The hearing schedule does not list either SB 1 or SB 858 as sponsor only.

Yes, SB858 is a perfect example of Chair discretion. SB1 did not have a cross-file but SB858 DID have a cross-file, HB307. But as enacted by the Senate, 858 doesn't look anything like the original. So, the House Jud. Committee Chair gets credit for opening it back up on 858 and allowing his committee to hear testimony on SB1.

durning gun day a man got off a bus and confronted a bunch of us and said we need to learn how to read is this the man

Delegate Luke Clippinger the reason I ask and need to be sure is I am getting ready to write the committee members opposing the bill. I would also like to ask them how we can get a fair and honest hearing when the chair of the committee feels so poorly about us. That is the only purpose for finding out if this was the person​

Reminder to get your testimony written tonight to submit tomorrow before 3pm.

I can't make it in person this time, but those who can have to sign up for that tomorrow as well.
