Updates: Septic Bill Killed In Committee

Two bills that drew crowds to Annapolis have been killed in committee. The two bills, the Septic Bill and the Liberty Preservation Act of 2013, would have had wide implications in planning and law enforcement policy, respectively.

The Septic Bill

Republican Del. Michael McDermott’s initiative to repeal the septic bill was struck down in committee last month, even though rural communities supported it.

HB 106 drew dozens of farmers into the state capitol to testify in favor of McDermott’s initiative — not to mention a “tractor-cade” that rolled through the streets surrounding the state house just a week before the Senate vote on Feb. 19.

What the constituency wants doesn't seem to matter. Taxation without representation.
