Even though Gov. Martin O’Malley has yet to officially call the special session of the General Assembly for congressional reapportionment, legislative leaders are planning an accelerated agenda beginning next Monday morning, Oct. 17.
The Senate and House of Delegates are expected to convene around 11 a.m. to introduce the governor’s redistricting plan and any other measures the delegates and senators will file. These include at least three bills affecting school board elections in Howard, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties.
The governor’s call cannot restrict the legislature from passing other measures, and O’Malley has talked about introducing some sort of jobs bill. But legislative leaders are expecting the session to be wrapped up in two or three days at most.
