Week Twelve: Crossover Deadline & Hearings On Agenda

With just two weeks left in the 2013 Maryland General Assembly session, lawmakers face "Crossover Day" today.

By tonight, legislation has to pass at least one chamber of the legislature, if it has any chance of becoming law before the session ends on April 8.

Nearly 1,100 bills have been introduced this year in the Maryland Senate. More than 1,500 bills were introduced this year in the House of Delegates.

Only a handful of bills have passed both chambers so far.

I wonder how many legislators actually read these bills as opposed to pushing them through so they can go on break?
