Paid Leave Bill Passes House, No Word in the Senate
HB001 (SB230) After passing its first reading in the House of Delegates Economic Matters Committee with a 14 - 9 vote,
The Maryland Healthy Working Families Act passed the House largely along party lines. The Senate is scheduled to hold a preliminary vote on Senate Bill 230, the companion bill to HB001, before week's end. The Senate delayed the vote Wednesday on the bill that differs from the one passed last week by the House of Delegates with provisions for six sick days instead of seven, exempting seasonal workers who work less than 106 hours, and a pre-emption provision that would prevent 23 of the 24 jurisdictions from having their own sick leave laws. Only Montgomery County, which already has a law in place, would be excluded from the prohibition.

Fiscal Year 2018 Spending Affordability
The Spending Affordability Advisory Committee appointed by Howard County Executive
Allan H. Kittleman presented its annual report, forecasting moderate revenue growth that will require fiscal discipline to keep up with the county's increasing financial demands. The 17-page report, which reviews future county revenue levels and other financial indicators for fiscal years 2018-2022, concluded that the county will face significant challenges to both its capital and operating budgets in the upcoming fiscal year as well as future years. Such immediate and long-term challenges emerged from an aging population, a shift in housing development from single family dwellings to multi-family units and likely cuts in federal and state expenditures. The Chamber will host a meeting in the weeks to come where interested persons can hear firsthand on recommendations.
