If there is any good news, it looks like the HQL review board bill didn't cross over so really only two bills left to focus on in senate, 740 & 786.
Good one, Lloyd. This is the free state, don'tcha know?

They can ram it through if they want to. Leadership can put enough pressure on Rules to get late (post-crossover) bills pushed through and into requisite committees.
All depends on how bad they want it.
I don't see the GA tossing the HPRB out; it provides several months' worth of infringement that the appellant has to go through before MSP automatically shuttles him to a hearing with an administrative law judge.
The only party really interested in ditching the HPRB is Bloomberg's Cat Ladies, Hogan's Redshirts.
Could you clarify? I know that bills have moved out of Rules in the past very late in the session. It's been a while since I was in this particular loop. Perhaps the bills I referenced came out of a particular house after crossover day?
And no one knows how aggressive MD might be in a prosecution for a stop on the way or returning from.
I tend to think a stop for gas or food would be looked at differently than going to the mall on the
way to or returning from from
But IANAL and this is MD
I think if a bill has not made it over to the other house by the end of crossover,
for it to move through that chamber it will need to go to Rules first (because it is late), then onto whichever committee is responsible. I.E. Rules could kill it before it even got that far. More hurdles.

<heavy sigh>Nowhere in the law does it say stopping for food or fuel is illegal with regard to transporting a handgun to/from a range or gun shop.
You are welcome to think that the DA's office is full of reasonable prosecutors, but I'm willing to bet there's at least one ladder-climbing Frosh-wannabe who will aggressively pursue a platform based on "you made a trip from your house to the gas station, where you were arrested by Officer Friendly. 'To the gas station' is not a permitted destination per 4-203 (People's Exhibit 1). Your intentions beyond that are irrelevant."I know. But the opening section of 4-203 expressly prohibits ALL transport of handguns, except for "the following circumstances." That's where the problem lies. They don't provide a list of prohibitions, they prohibit everything and provide a list of exceptions.
If the bills make 1st reading by the bill introduction date (27th Legislative day in the Senate and 31st Legislative day in the House), then no rules committee for them, and they are assigned to the committee responsible for the section of Maryland annotated code, the bill is trying to affect.
If a bill does not make 1st reader by bill introduction day, then it must go to respective rules committee to be passed on to committee. Again they are assigned to the committee responsible for the section of Maryland annotated code the bill is trying to affect.
If a bill crosses over before crossover day, then it gets treated just a bill passed by bill introduction day in its originating house. If a bill crosses over after crossover day, then they go to the respective rules committee to be voted on and either passed on to 1st Reader and it's respective committee or it dies.
In all of the above cases, neither Bush nor Miller can have the bill "assigned to any committee they wish", since each committee is responsible for set sections of the Maryland annotated code.
doesn't the collectors letter give you a bit of leeway here?
