Gov. Hogan extends Md. general assembly session

Governor Larry Hogan issued executive order Monday that will extend Maryland’s General Assembly session for no longer than 10 days.

The extension will provide Maryland’s General Assembly additional time for legislators to pass a budget. According to the Hogan administration, the budget bill is the only piece of legislation that can be debated among the General Assembly during the 10-day extension.

“With the final week of session upon us, I am happy to give legislators extra time to reach an agreement on the budget,” said Governor Hogan. “I remain committed to working with the General Assembly to reach a bipartisan budget resolution that delivers the tax relief and fiscal responsibility that Marylanders are demanding.”
