Greetings!
On Monday at midnight, the 2023 Maryland General Assembly legislative session came to an end after 90 days of working to pass hundreds of bills.
Here’s your 2023 Session Recap! ⬇️
This session started with the historic inaugurations of Governor Wes Moore, Attorney General Anthony Brown, and Comptroller Brooke Lierman, as well as the swearing in of a new General Assembly. From the start, the session was overwhelmingly positive with legislators and the Moore-Miller administration working together to help vulnerable Marylanders, advance progressive policy and address long-standing challenges in state agency operations.
The Moore-Miller administration appointed the most diverse cabinet in Maryland history, with new leadership for every agency. The administration also led legislative efforts to expedite a $15 minimum wage, protect our veterans, lift children and families out of poverty, create a service year, address the educator shortage, increase wages for state employees and invest in the state economy.
This was the first time in over 8 years that the Governor of Maryland participated in the legislative process and introduced their own bill package. We were honored to work with the Governor’s office and many coalition partners to advance some of these priority bills.
