Currently in the state, once a parole board makes the decision that someone with a life sentence is eligible for parole, the governor has 180 days to deny the board’s decision. HB-723 would take the governor out of the equation.
Friday’s 79-55 vote for the bill authored by Del. Pamela Queen, a Democrat from Montgomery County, has advanced it to the Senate.
Supporters of legislation say it removes any chance that politics play a role in a decision on whether or not an inmate should be released.

Oh right like taking the last say out of the governor's hands is going to remove any chance that politics is playing a role. Not only are all democrats liars they are the dumbest things to be walking the face of the earth. If every democrat were to suddenly disappear the world would immediately become a better place. There isn't one walking around or even 6 foot under who has ever served a positive purpose.
This is the craziest bill I have ever heard. The governor has always been the final voice. Just another Democrat trying to control our country!!
MD legislator seems to be voting themselves an awful lot of power and decision making abilities these days. Whats up with that? Much of it is by taking away power from the governor and placing it somewhere else.
They pass this then pass less restrictive Handgun permit applications and less restrictive buying of weapons. The more criminals released the more crime rises and the more law abiding citizens need to protect themselves.
2:09 what state are talking about? This is Maryland. Less restrictive gun laws? Doubt it. The only way we get this fixed is through court challenges which are moving very, very slow.
MSI.COM is dedicated the restoring the gun rights of LAW ABIDING Maryland citizens. They have been the push behind much of the appeals being filed.
They can always use donations of any size. Think about it.
