Legislative Update – Maryland General Assembly

Welcome to Week 7 of the General Assembly! 

Update from the Quaker Voice of Maryland…

Hello Friends,

Last week…
  • So many hearings! Ombuds, Energy Performance Targets, and Climate Solutions Now all had hearings in their chamber committee of origin. Check out the Quaker Voice website update that includes links to bill testimony we submitted in support of these bills.
  • CCAN Lobby Event – Bill news! During the kick-off event on Thursday CCAN announced their Climate Solutions Now priorities in the House chamber (remember, in the beginning there are suppose to be many House bills and only one Senate bill). Check out the new bills added to our bill tracking sheet.

This week…

  • ACTION ALERT –  Stay tuned! Since there are no bill hearings on priority legislation this week we are taking a week off to figure out our strategy and test out some new advocacy software. Take a breath and get ready for some committee-focused advocacy actions the following week.

That is all for this week — if you have any questions or ideas please feel free to reach out to me or any of our working group members.

In Light,

Molly Finch
Clerk, Quaker Voice Working Group
