The Prince George's General Assembly Committee convened on September 9, 2025, to discuss key legislative proposals for the upcoming year. The meeting focused specifically on bills relevant to Prince George's County, with an emphasis on preparing for the October 1 submission deadline for local legislation.

Committee Director Marvely Neville Simpson opened the session by introducing key members of the legislative team, including legislative officer Jabari Cooper and policy analyst David Williams. She highlighted the importance of selecting up to two bills to be prioritized as council bills, a practice that has been historically followed by the committee.

Simpson noted that this year’s proposals are organized into state and local categories, reflecting a robust slate of submissions from council members. She emphasized the need to finalize local bills in the next two meetings to ensure timely submission.

Jabari Cooper was then invited to present the details of the proposed bills, which were distributed to committee members for review. The committee aims to support council members in identifying sponsors for any bills not selected as council bills, ensuring that all proposals receive appropriate attention.

The meeting underscored the committee's commitment to legislative preparation and collaboration, setting the stage for further discussions in the coming weeks.
