Anne Arundel delegation sets LBI deadline, dues and rules discussion; motion to adjourn
Summary
The delegation set a Feb. 13 deadline for Legislative Bond Initiative presentations, confirmed dues of $65, noted outstanding rules to be circulated (including an on-camera voting proposal), and approved a motion to adjourn at the meeting’s close.
The Anne Arundel County delegation used the Jan. 16 meeting to confirm internal housekeeping. The secretary announced the deadline for Legislative Bond Initiative (LBI) presentations is Friday, Feb. 13, reminded members that delegation dues are $65 (unchanged from last year) and said rules have not yet been adopted; the secretary and counsel will circulate suggested rules and two proposed amendments — one addressing on-camera voting and another clarifying the definition of a majority for voting.
Chairwoman Heather Bagnell asked that any rule requiring members to appear on camera include a consideration or exception for a member who currently serves as Speaker, noting that being on camera can create scheduling or security difficulties. The chair acknowledged the request and said members will receive materials and an email from the secretary.
At the meeting’s close a motion to adjourn was moved and seconded; no roll-call vote was recorded on the motion in the transcript.
Why it matters: The LBI deadline sets the timeline for projects delegates may prioritize for state capital funding this session, and rules changes under consideration could affect participation and voting protocols for the delegation.
Outcome: A motion to adjourn was moved and seconded and the chair closed the meeting.
