While hundreds of bills have passed this session, a few of the more controversial ones we discussed didn’t make it to the governor’s desk.
I thought I’d share some of them with you.
SB 602: The Bag Tax: would have required businesses to provide incentives for reusable bags and taxed consumers for using plastic or paper bags.
HB 1288: Distracted Driving: would prohibit drivers from taking their eyes off the road for any read.
SB 116: Gay Marriage: did narrowly pass the Senate but was recommitted to committee in the House where it will stay.
We will likely see these bills again next year…in Annapolis, these types of things always seem to come back from the dead.
The Tea Party movement has caucuses in the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States.
