Annapolis — The Maryland House of Delegates on March 10, 2025, introduced House Bond Initiative No. 62 and referred the measure to the Appropriations Committee after the clerk announced 128 votes in the affirmative.
The presiding officer asked the chamber, "Shall the bond initiative be introduced? It requires 94 votes," and the clerk later said, "128 votes in the affirmative. The bond initiative will be introduced." The bill was read into the record as "Introductory House Bond Initiative No. 62, March tenth 2025. Refer to Appropriations," by the reading clerk.
The roll call occurred after the presiding officer recognized the measure for introduction. The clerk confirmed there were 131 members present earlier in the session before the vote was called. The introduction met the stated vote threshold of 94 votes and was formally entered and referred to the Appropriations Committee for further consideration.
The floor later heard a procedural motion from the majority leader to recess the House until Tuesday, March 11, at 10 a.m.; the transcript records the motion but does not record a subsequent roll-call outcome for that recess motion in the provided excerpt.
No sponsor name was recorded in the transcript excerpt for House Bond Initiative No. 62; the clerk read the initiative number and committee referral into the record.
