Testimony

The Maryland General Assembly maintains a website with all details on pending and past legislation. Visit https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/. Once on the site, click Search in the top menu, then pick the Session you are interested in (2024 Regular Session, 2023 Regular Session, etc.). Enter a bill number in the "Number" box and click on the Magnifying Glass next to it to get details for a specific bill. Click Witness List to see a list of all testimony provided for or against the bill. (Note - Witness Lists may not be available during the session.)
