Dear Constituents and Friends,
On Wednesday, March 18, 2020, the Maryland General Assembly adjourned early for the first time since the Civil War due to concerns surrounding COVID-19. Monday, April 6th, marked the original date to Adjourn Sine Die. The first Monday in April is when the Maryland General Assembly traditionally adjourns its legislative work until the 2nd Wednesday in January, when the Maryland General Assembly reconvenes for the 2021 Legislative Session.
We worked diligently prior to outbreak of the Coronavirus, and then tirelessly, for hours on end, to pass legislation that will have significant impacts on Education, Criminal Justice Reform, the Operating Budget, Healthcare and Elections, Campaign Finance and Ethics.
A Coronavirus Legislative Task Force was developed to handle the pending consequences of COVID-19.
