Übersicht

In 2018, the Maryland General Assembly was in session from January 10, 2018, through April 9, 2018.

Partisan control

Maryland was one of 16 states under a divided government in 2018, meaning it did not have a state government trifecta. A state government trifecta occurs when one political party holds the governor's office, a majority in the state Senate, and a majority in the state House. For more information about divided governments and state government trifectas, click here.

Local media reports "things to know" about the 2018 legislative session
The Frederick News-Post identified eight "things to know" about the upcoming 2018 state legislative session. These include potential legislative action to address paid sick leave, redistricting, brewery production and sales, medical marijuana, state and local taxes, school facilities, opioid abuse, and capital funding for a hotel and conference center in Frederick, Maryland.[1]

January 30, 2018

Senate passes bill revoking parental rights of rapists
 The Maryland State Senate unanimously voted to pass a bill that would allow rape victims to terminate the parental rights of their assailants if the child was conceived as a result of the rape. The bill's main sponsor, Del. Kathleen Dumais (D), had pushed for the legislation since 2007. At the time it passed in the Senate, it had already been given unanimous initial approval in the House and Gov. Larry Hogan (R) had already promised to sign the bill.[2]

Update: The state House approved the legislation on February 9, 2018, and Gov. Larry Hogan (R) signed it on February 13, 2018.

February 13, 2018

Gov. Hogan (R) signs bill revoking parental rights of rapists
 Gov. Larry Hogan signed Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), called the Rape Survivor Family Protection Act, into law. The law, effective immediately, allows women who became pregnant as a result of sexual assault to petition to terminate the parental rights of their assailants.[3] Similar legislation was introduced in the state Legislature in the 2015, 2014, 2013, 2009, 2008, and 2007 sessions. Previously, state law required courts to make parental rights decisions based on the best interest of the child. Courts didn't deny all visitation rights except under exceptional circumstances, which the Maryland Department of Legislative Services described as "a high threshold to meet."[4]

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 30 other states as of April 2017 allowed rape victims who became pregnant to terminate the parental rights of their perpetrators.[5] The Baltimore Sun reported that prior to the passage of SB 2, Maryland was one of six states without laws allowing pregnant rape victims to terminate an attacker's parental rights.[6] Read more here.

March 15, 2018

Maryland House of Delegates approves gun-related legislation
The Maryland House of Delegates advanced three firearms-related measures.

  • House Bill 888. HB 888 advanced 128 to 7 and would prohibit the ownership, manufacture, sale, or transportation of a bump stock or other rapid-fire trigger accelerators in the state. The bump stock, which allows semi-automatic firearms to fire similarly to automatic weapons, was linked with the October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas. HB 888 would set the maximum penalty for violations at three years imprisonment, a $5,000 fine, or both.[7][8] According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, at least 15 other states and several localities have proposed prohibiting bump stocks.[9]
  • House Bill 1302. The House of Delegates approved HB 1302 by a 116 to 17 vote. HB 1302 would require gun owners to temporarily surrender their firearms if they are deemed by a judge to be an immediate threat to themselves or others.[10] According to CNN, similar laws were already in effect in Connecticut, Indiana, California, Washington, and Oregon, and 24 state legislatures had introduced or considered similar legislation in the 2018 legislative session as of March 2018.[11]
  • House Bill 1646. HB 1646 passed 127 to 7 and would make it illegal for individuals convicted of a domestic violence-related crime to possess or own a firearm. On conviction, the court would require the individual to surrender all firearms in their possession to local law enforcement and provide proof of the transfer.[12] According to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, fourteen states require the surrender of firearms after a domestic violence conviction.[13] The Gifford Law Center describes itself as "dedicated to researching, writing, enacting, and defending proven laws and programs" and "on a mission to save lives from gun violence by shifting culture, changing policies, and challenging injustice."[14]

Republican Gov. Larry Hogan said he would support the legislation.

Update:
  • The state Senate approved HB 888 on April 4, 2018, and Gov. Larry Hogan (R) vetoed the legislation on May 25, 2018, on the grounds that it duplicated an existing law.[15]
  • The state Senate passed HB 1302 on April 6, 2018, and Gov. Larry Hogan (R) signed it on April 24, 2018.
  • The state Senate approved HB 1646 with amendments on April 6, 2018. The House did not agree to the amendments. A conference committee approved a compromise bill on April 9, 2018, and Gov. Larry Hogan (R) signed it on April 24, 2018.

March 19, 2018

State House votes to include lobbyists in General Assembly sexual harassment policies
The Maryland House of Delegates unanimously voted in favor of including lobbyists in the General Assembly's sexual harassment policies. Lobbyists would be prohibited from harassing other lobbyists, lawmakers, and legislative and executive staff members. The State Ethics Commission, which has jurisdiction over lobbyists, would review complaints against lobbyists, create a workgroup to decide on potential consequences of sexual misconduct, and conduct sexual harassment training. The measure would also allow sexual harassment complaints to be referred to an independent investigator, rather than the legislature's human resources department or the ethics committee.[16]

The House passed the measure almost one week after Delegate Cheryl Kagan (D) accused lobbyist and former Delegate Gil Genn of sexual harassment, according to The Washington Post on March 11. Kagan filed a formal complaint against Genn, who denied the accusation.[17]

The proposed provisions, which incorporated recommendations submitted by the Women Legislators of Maryland in February, were sent to the Maryland State Senate for consideration.[16]

Update: The Senate approved the legislation on April 6, 2018, and the governor signed it on May 8, 2018.

Maryland Senate passes marijuana-related bill
The Maryland State Senate advanced a bill that would decriminalize possession of one ounce (about 28 grams) of marijuana, up from 10 grams. Under the bill, state residents in possession of one ounce or less of marijuana would face a $100 civil fine. The bill increases penalties for driving or riding in a car passenger seat while smoking. Bill sponsor Sen. Robert Zirkin (D) said the bill would align Maryland with 22 other states that have decriminalized small amounts of marijuana possession. The bill passed 36 to 11 and was sent to the state House for consideration. Maryland decriminalized possession of 10 grams of marijuana in 2014.[18] Read more here.

Update: The legislation was sent to the state House, where it did not see further action.

April 4, 2018

Gov. Hogan vetoes legislation about school construction funding
Republican Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed legislation that would have changed the way the state funds school construction projects. The Democratic-controlled Maryland State Senate approved the measure with a 29-14 vote—enough to override a veto—on March 29. The legislation would have transferred school construction decision rights from the state Board of Public Works, which consists of the governor, comptroller, and treasurer, to a commission of state officials and members appointed by the governor, House speaker, and Senate president.[19]

Gov. Hogan announced in a Facebook post that he vetoed the legislation: "This tone-deaf, partisan bill was one of the most outrageous and irresponsible actions ever taken by the Maryland General Assembly; it was passed at the last minute, in secret and was rammed through with no hearings, no public input, and no notice in smoke-filled back rooms." He accused Democratic Sens. Jim Mathias, Katherine Klausmeier, and Ronald Young, of giving in "to political pressure from the Senate President" and encouraged constituents to "hold them accountable for the choice they make during the veto override vote."[20]

According to The Baltimore Sun, Mathias and Klausmeier voted in favor of the legislation even though they supported Republican amendments. Klausmeier released a Facebook video in which she said she voted for the bill because the "pros outweighed the cons" and added, "Did I like the whole bill? Not really."[21] Sen. Young said in a Facebook video that he thought the legislation "was a very good bill and will help take us to where we need to go with education."[22]

Update: The General Assembly overturned the governor's veto on April 5, 2018.

General Assembly sends bill aiming to reduce premiums to governor's desk
The Maryland General Assembly approved legislation that would raise a projected $380 million in revenue by imposing a temporary, one-year tax on insurance companies. The bill aims to lower premiums by using the revenue to pay for high-cost insurance claims.[23] Maryland Commissioner of Insurance Alfred Redmer told Bloomberg Law that the legislation would reduce premiums by about 20 percent and without the legislation, premiums in the state could rise to 50 percent in 2019.[24]

The bill had the support of the Maryland Hospitals Association and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield.[25]

The Baltimore Sun reported that Alaska, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Maine, Iowa, and New Hampshire, had created or considered similar programs at the time of the bill's passage.[25] Read more here.

Update: Gov. Larry Hogan (R) approved the bill on April 5, 2018.

April 5, 2018

Maryland General Assembly votes to override Hogan veto of school construction funding bill
The Democratic-controlled Maryland General Assembly voted to override Republican Gov. Larry Hogan's veto of a bill concerning school construction funding. The House voted 90 to 48 and the Senate voted 29 to 15 to override the veto.[26]

The legislation authorized a commission of state officials and appointed members, rather than the state Board of Public Works, to make decisions about school construction projects.[19] Sen. Bill Ferguson (D) said, "We are creating a process that is fair and is transparent and will expedite projects we really know are necessary." Gov. Hogan said the General Assembly "opened the door to corruption in the school construction process" by overriding the veto and called on legislators to repeal the bill next session.[26] Read more here.

Maryland becomes 11th state to enact automatic voter registration
On April 5, 2018, SB1048, creating an automatic voter registration system in Maryland, became law after Governor Larry Hogan (R) declined to sign or veto it. The legislation provided for the automatic registration of eligible voters when they complete transactions at the following state agencies: Motor Vehicle Administration, Maryland Health Benefit Exchange, local departments of social services, the Mobility Certification Office, and the Maryland Transit Administration. The law was set to take effect by July 1, 2019. The Maryland State Senate approved the bill by a vote of 31-13 on March 16, 2018. The Maryland House of Delegates followed suit on March 28, 2018, by a vote of 93-46.[27][28]

Senate approves sexual harassment measure
The Maryland State Senate approved a measure that would change the Maryland General Assembly's policy on sexual harassment complaints. The Maryland House of Delegates advanced the measure on March 19 but the House needed to vote a second time to approve Senate changes.

Under the Senate measure, sexual harassment complaints would be referred to an independent investigator in all situations. The House version required an independent investigator only in certain situations. The Senate version would also prohibit taxpayer money from being used in a sexual harassment lawsuit. Both the Senate and House versions included lobbyists in their sexual harassment prevention provisions.[29]

Update: The House approved Senate amendments on April 9, 2018, and Gov. Larry Hogan (R) signed the measure on May 8, 2018.

April 7, 2018

Maryland General Assembly approves changes to hate crime law
The Maryland General Assembly approved Senate Bill 528, which would change the state's hate crime law. SB 528 would include new wording to clarify that it is illegal to "commit specified acts against another person’s or group’s race, color, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or national origin, or because another person or group is homeless."[30] The bill passed unanimously in the Senate and was approved by a 129-4 vote in the House.[31] Read more here.

Update: Gov. Larry Hogan (R) signed SB 528 on May 8, 2018.

April 9, 2018

Lawmakers approve medical marijuana bill
The Maryland General Assembly passed a bill to increase the number of medical marijuana-grower licenses from 15 to 22. Under the bill, two licenses would go to two companies that took legal action over the licensing process. The bill included provisions to help minority-owned companies obtain the four remaining licenses. The number of marijuana processor licenses would also increase from 15 to 28.[32] Read more here.

Update: Gov. Larry Hogan (R) approved the legislation on May 15, 2018.

May 8, 2018

Gov. Hogan signs bill establishing new sexual harassment rules for state legislature
Republican Gov. Larry Hogan signed HB 1342, which updates sexual harassment policies in the Maryland General Assembly. The bill authorizes the legislature's Joint Ethics Committee to send sexual harassment complaints to an independent investigator and requires an independent investigator if a harassment complaint has been filed against the same member more than once. The bill also includes lobbyists in the sexual harassment policies.[33][34][35] Read more here.

Budget

2018

The Maryland General Assembly approved a $44.5 billion budget bill on March 27, 2018.[36] The bill cut spending on the teacher retention program by $2 million, allocated 40 million for school safety initiatives, increased K-12 funding, and appropriated funds for the capital budget to Baltimore city public schools.[37]

Maryland Senate unanimously approves budget bill
A $44.5 billion budget bill passed the Democratic-controlled Maryland State Senate by a unanimous vote on March 15. The budget proposal would increase spending 2.2 percent over last year's budget. Senators proposed providing $11.4 billion for Medicaid health insurance plans, up $180 million from last year, and $6.5 billion to local public schools, a $160 million increase. The bill would allocate $200 million in new education funding, including $10 million for school safety, $5 million for violence prevention programs, and more than $20 million for providers that serve the elderly or children in foster care. Senators anticipated that revenue for the increased education funding would be paid by residents as a result of changes to the federal tax code. The Senate budget included $110 million that Republican Gov. Larry Hogan's proposal would have eliminated. Lawmakers proposed using the funds to provide aid to local government ($33 million), healthcare providers ($56 million), and caregivers ($20 million). The bill would also increase state employee salaries by 2 percent as of January 1, 2019.[38][39] The proposal was sent to the Maryland House of Delegates for consideration.

Noteworthy events

Sexual harassment report

On February 16, 2018, the Women Legislators of Maryland, who describe themselves as "a bipartisan Caucus of the 60 diverse women State Senators and Delegates serving in Maryland’s General Assembly," released a report containing a collection of anonymous stories about perceived sexual harassment in the state's legislative environment. The report included 22 recommendations adopted by the Women’s Caucus on February 7, 2018, to improve sexual harassment policies through training, reporting, accountability, and culture change.[44][45] The report was released on the day of the Workplace Harassment Commission's inaugural meeting. The commission, made up of 12 women and 2 men, was created in January 2018 to review sexual harassment policies in all three branches of the state government.[46][47] Find out more about sexual misconduct in state capitols.

Legislatively referred constitutional amendments

In every state but Delaware, voter approval is required to enact a constitutional amendment. In each state, the legislature has a process for referring constitutional amendments before voters. In 18 states, initiated constitutional amendments can be put on the ballot through a signature petition drive. There are also many other types of statewide measures.

The methods in which the Maryland Constitution can be amended:

Article XIV of the Maryland Constitution defines two ways to amend the state constitution—through a legislative process and a state constitutional convention.

Legislature

See also: Legislatively referred constitutional amendment

A 60% vote is required during one legislative session for the Maryland State Legislature to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 85 votes in the Maryland House of Delegates and 29 votes in the Maryland State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments do not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.

Convention

See also: Convention-referred constitutional amendment

According to Section 2 of Article XIV of the Maryland Constitution, a question about whether to hold a state constitutional convention is to automatically appear on the state's ballot every 20 years starting in 1970. Maryland is one of 14 states that provides for an automatic constitutional convention question.
