The delegation considered several shorter items and moved each favorably with amendments or technical updates.
SB877: Delegates discussed a pilot to authorize stop-sign monitoring systems in school-zone highways for three years (terminating 06/30/2029); Sen. Mary Washington’s amendment added the 41st Legislative District (Mount Washington neighborhood) to the pilot. Members debated district carve-outs and fair distribution of enforcement revenue; the amendment passed amid recorded opposition.
SB816: Sen. Hayes described SB816 as allowing the Winada program to fund social-connection projects (for example, community newspapers) and to make smaller community associations eligible for core funding. The delegation approved the amendment and the bill as amended; one senator asked to be recorded as 'nay' on the final vote.
SB818: Sen. Hayes said SB818 is primarily a state-center bill with several technical amendments: adding the Maryland Institute College of Art as an anchor institution, updating the Mount Royal Improvement Association name to Bolton Hill Community Association, and clarifying federal-funding compatibility language. The amendments were approved and the bill moved favorably.
The delegation also took up scheduling and housekeeping items, flagged local alcohol bills for upcoming Friday hearings, and adjourned.
