Md. House Advances More Than 125 Bills As It Rushes To Beat ‘Crossover’ Deadline

The Maryland House of Delegates advanced more than 125 bills on Saturday, including measures to legalize medical marijuana and to make “cyber bullying” a crime, as the 90-day legislative session headed into a very busy home stretch.

Meeting in a rare Saturday session in Annapolis, the House also passed a measure to crack down on toll violators but balked at a proposal to allow all Maryland counties to impose bag taxes.

With two weeks remaining, a crush of bills remains on the General Assembly’s agenda. Among them: high-profile gun-control legislation, a measure that would allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses and an attempt by Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D) to take over the county’s public schools

This rushing to beat a deadline is precisely why we have so many unenforceable overlapping laws. They just don't have time to fully digest what they're voting on.., yet another reason to fear our nation will fall.
